The United Nations defines a disaster as a disruption of social and community function, involving so many losses and destructive impacts that affected communities and regions are unable to cope using their own resources. We offer a phd degree in Disaster Risk and Resilience at the University of Canterbury.
Learning ways to manage the risks from natural hazards is a relevant and fascinating area of study.
Why study Disaster Risk and Resilience at University of Canterbury ?
- Aotearoa New Zealand is located on the Pacific ‘rim of fire,’ and has one of the most dynamic environments in the world.
- Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, and tsunami threaten a rapidly-growing, high income economy, driving collaboration between policy, practice research, and local communities, and increasing demand for disaster risk reduction.
- This makes Aotearoa New Zealand an outstanding laboratory for the study of multi-hazard disaster risk and resilience.
