Session Description:
Despite
increasing incidence of natural disasters throughout the world there
exists large gaps in knowledge and education related to natural hazards
among the general population. The aim of this session is to highlight
successful and innovative strategies or methodologies used to
communicate natural hazards to students at all levels in the classroom,
the lab and the field. Presentations are invited from researchers and
educators with experience engaging learners in topics related to natural
processes, vulnerability and risk. This session provides an
opportunity to share best practices, models and inquiry-based lesson
plans which increase awareness of natural hazards and foster disaster
resilient communities around the globe.
