      abstract = {This book presents a comprehensive analysis of diverse  aspects of geohazards. The growing vulnerability and  exposure to failures in risk reduction and policy-making  increases the severity of geohazard impacts by many folds.  Therefore, detailed geohazard analysis, modelling and  forecasting are needed to reduce the impacts of extreme  events. An interdisciplinary approach to hazard mitigation  provides an advanced tool for risk reduction. The book thus  summarizes recent modelling and analysis techniques for  hazard assessment and risk mitigation. Topics discussed in  the book are hazard and risk associated with earthquakes,  vulnerability assessment for landslides and avalanches, the  assessment of tsunami risk in coastal regions, the  implementation of early warning systems to prevent  catastrophic consequences, climate change risk modelling  and risk communication. The convergent approach with the  aspects of natural, engineering, and social sciences  attracts a vast audience working to advance disaster  science. This book also significantly facilitates the  acquisition of policy-relevant knowledge for risk  reduction, which is beneficial to the general public.},
