Planetary Hazards

Planetary Hazards refer to natural events or phenomena that can cause damage or pose risks to human life, infrastructure, and the environment on a planetary scale. These hazards can include a variety of geophysical and climatic events such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes, floods, and landslides. Planetary hazards also extend to the impacts of activities such as climate change and its associated effects like rising sea levels, severe weather patterns, and desertification. Understanding and assessing planetary hazards is critical for disaster preparedness, risk management, and implementing mitigation strategies to minimize their impact on populations and ecosystems. This field of study incorporates scientific observation, modeling, and prediction to enhance safety and resilience against these potentially catastrophic events.
