Human activities have had a huge impact on the environment and landscape, through industrialisation and land-use change, leading to climate change, deforestation, desertification, land degradation, and air and water pollution. These impacts are strongly linked to the occurrence of geomorphological hazards, such as floods, landslides, snow

These impacts are strongly linked to the occurrence of geomorphological hazards, such as floods, landslides, snow avalanches, soil erosion, and others. Geomorphological work includes not only the understanding but the mapping and modelling of Earth's surface processes, many of which directly affect human societies.
Weathering hazards (Chapter 12) - Geomorphological Hazards
Introduction. Like many geomorphological processes, weathering can pose a hazard if it affects humans, their property and livelihoods. Unlike many geomorphological processes that are known to cause a hazard, such as landslides, avalanches and coastal erosion, weathering is generally slow and small scale, though once thresholds have been

Geomorphological hazards: The occurrence of a threatening condition derived from a natural phenomenon in a defined space and time can be considered as a natural hazard (Alcántara-Ayala, 2002). It is important to understand, however, that the damage produced by such hazards can extend beyond the exact moment when they occur.Author: Irasema Alcántara-Ayala
