Unit for Environmental Sciences and Management - Sub-programme: Disaster Risk Science

The ACDS’s research focus is transdisciplinary in nature. We believe solving disaster risk problems requires many disciplines and an understanding of complexity in and between socio-ecologically linked systems. Our research focus on the following themes:

• Disaster risk governance
• Complexity and complex adaptive systems
• Resilience building in development context
• Multi-hazard early warning systems
• Disaster risk communication
