Project description

The course “Living on the edge of a volcano” mainly focusses on human-environment-interactions at a volcanic landscape. The Italian volcanoes Etna and Vesuvius are both implemented in the everyday-life of the population, but both locations show differ-ences in their land-use structures. Students investigate those differences by using satellite data. They assess implications for people liv-ing close to these volcanoes as well as discuss potential conflicts between the local environ-ment and the inhabitants of these regions.
