- Hazardous Earth
- CSMP
- Iceland's place perception centred positive view of land of fire & ice for tourists - contested by residents
- Haiti earthquake ruined place perception due to poor capacity to cope with chaos and destruction
- Disaster tourism = placemaking /rebranding opportunities e.g. Plymouth, Montserrat
- Place perception influenced by informal representations in the media of hazards e.g. San Andreas, The Impossible
- ELSS
- Volcano - lahars interact with water store e.g. Nevado del Ruiz, Colombia killed 23,000
- Earthquake - disrupts water stores e.g. tsunami & dams breaking = land slides & flooding
- Volcanoes release CO2 e.g. Lake Nyos - carbon cycle increases as more C in atmosphere less in lithosphere = warmer climate
- Biological evidence for Alfred Wegener's continental drift theory in carboniferous rocks stored in lithosphere
- Migration
- Montserrat - 8,000/13,000 emigrated to UK to regain livelihood
- Emigration from origin of hazardous event to escape disruption e.g. victims of Haiti earthquake to USA
- Iceland tourism boom due to hazards - job opportunities for economic migrants
- Small scale migration to study volcano (Nyiragongo)
- Coasts
- Volcanic rock = resistant coastlines
- Undersea earthquake = tsunami threatening coastline & sea defences required
- Network of buoys to detect tsunami
- Modify the event - spray seawater on lava e.g. Eldfell
- Hawaiian chain of volcanic islands - seamounts & guyots
- Hotspots/convergent = new land/changed coastline created by eruption of magma e.g. Montserrat & Surtsey
- Power & borders
- Fragile gov can't mitigate tectonic hazard - Haiti Nyiragongo (corruption, groups, unprepared)
- Role of govt & NGOs in hazardous events e.g. food aid to help recover
- New Zealand - stable, democratic gov had earthquake minister
- Global governance, interference of UN - Haiti earthquake 2010 couldn't help, 100 personnel killed
- CSMP
