The assessment, perception, communication and management of geomorphic hazards is an emergent field which combines the insights of geomorphology with those of risk studies. A geomorphic hazard is defined as occurring wherever landform change adversely affects the geomorphic stability of a site and also produces adverse socio-economic impacts. The types of geomorphic hazards discussed in this book include accelerated soil erosion, desertification, floods, landslides, seismicity, soil salinization, thermokarst erosion and volcanic eruptions. The examples are drawn from Algeria, Canada, Cape Verde Islands, Egypt, Italy, Japan, Mexico, the Netherlands, the Philippines and Russia.
