Taught by Department of Space and Climate Physics and Institute for Risk and Disaster Reduction, Earth Sciences offer this world leading, unique taught and research postgraduate programme uniting the disciplines of risk assessment, disaster response, space technology and space physics. Through this we will train a new generation of innovative and creative researchers, thinkers, practitioners and decision-makers in the exciting new field of risk and disaster reduction from outer space. The Space Risk and Disaster programme at University College London (UCL) aims to allow students to learn about and explore the characterisation, quantification, management and reduction of risk and disaster losses from a diverse range of perspectives, with a focus on the new and emerging risks posed to modern technology by space weather and the possible uses of outer space to monitor hazards on the Earth. Teaching and project supervision will be provided by active researchers, practitioners, and policy-makers who are leaders in their respective fields.
