Students may undertake projects such as conducting a seismic hazard assessment for a region, or looking at the kind of risks that an earthquake may pose to a high building.

Practical applications of geomorphology include hazard assessment (such as landslide prediction and mitigation), river control and stream restoration, and coastal protection.

Registered preschools are subjected to zoning regulations and must comply to other regulations such as health screening and fire hazard assessment.

His primary interests include neotectonics, paleoseismology, archaeoseismology, and use of geological data for seismic hazard assessment.

Remote sensing techniques are also highly employed for landslide hazard assessment and analysis.
