The scientific studies on various aspects of natural disasters vulnerability mapping, modelling and management have phenomenally grown in the recent years, especially after the advent of Geomatics technology. This book carries 24 articles covering seismicity, multivariate methods of landslide vulnerability mapping, tsunami vulnerability of parts on east coast of India and the inputs of offshore and onshore geo systems over tsunami run up and inundation, visualization of scenarios of impacts of sea level rise and floods. This book will be of topical interest to all those concerned with natural disasters. (jacket).…
