Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2025-26
Estudio panorámico de la evolución del paisaje del Mediterráneo occidental, de sus transformaciones por la acción humana y de las implicaciones (económicas, políticas, culturales...) de los riesgos naturales. Siempre han sido motivo de preocupación en la vertiente mediterránea española las consecuencias que pudieran ocasionar los episodios extremos de origen geológico o atmosférico debido al elevado grado de destrucción y el gran número de víctimas que suelen provocar. Territorios y gentes han hecho frente a lo largo de la historia a riesgos de muy diferente índole, sorteando no pocos obstáculos y calamidades y superando infinidad de situaciones límite. Se prestará especial atención al análisis de las sequías históricas a lo largo de los siglos modernos así como a todos los episodios de preciìtaciones extraordinarias provocadoras de riadas e inundaciones de consecuencias catastróficas.
