Publisher's Synopsis
This book is based on the contributions of several authors and attempts to describe the roles human activities play in causing geohazards either directly or indirectly through man-made climate change. The risk of these man-made geohazards and the risk assessment are also discussed in this book. Each chapter keeps the authors and rsquo; notations that vary from chapter to chapter. These authors and rsquo; notations have been maintained to reduce unintended confusion and errors. Readers should be aware of this variation.
