This master's will be collaboratively taught by members of Lincoln University’s Department of Environmental Management and the University of Canterbury’s Department of Geological Sciences. The programmes will allow students to access the complementary knowledge and expertise sets of each university, as well as increasing the scope of research projects. Currently UC has strong expertise in hazard processes, risk assessment, risk management and risk reduction, while Lincoln has strengths in environment, planning, socio-economic factors, community engagement, policy and resilience.
