This book is a product of the joint efforts of interdisciplinary
academic fields under the integrative framework of human
geoscience. Human geoscience is a new genre of geoscience concerned
with the natural phenomena that occur on the surface of the Earth
and their relations with human activities. It therefore has
connections with many fields of geoscience, namely, physical
geography, geomorphology, geology, soil science, sedimentology,
seismology, volcanology, meteorology, climatology, oceanography,
and hydrology. It also has strong links to the humanities, social
sciences, agricultural sciences, and engineering related to
disaster prevention or mitigation. All these disciplines are
important fields for understanding disasters and global
environmental problems and for evaluating the associated risks
comprehensively, then proposing mitigation strategies.The volume is
designed for those who may not necessarily have a geoscience
background but have broad scientific interest in understanding the
causes, mechanisms, and consequences of geo-disasters and global
environmental problems and wish to make the world more sustainable
on that basis. The book consists of six parts: I. Introduction, II.
Earth Surface Realms, III. Natural Resources and Society, IV.
Natural Hazards and Society, V. Global Environmental Problems, and
VI. Global Sustainability Programmes and Human Geoscience, which
discusses the contribution of this field of science to a new
comprehensive framework for global sustainability.
