With natural hazards increasing in frequency, extent, and complexity, the geosciences are central to understanding risks and supporting disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. This session provides a platform to exchange perspectives on how geoscientific knowledge and methods can be effectively integrated into education and training for Disaster Risk Management (DRM).

We invite contributions that highlight innovative approaches to teaching and capacity building in DRM across geosciences. Possible topics include field-based training, scenario-driven simulations, digital platforms, risk communication strategies, and case studies that connect scientific insights with real world challenges. Of particular interest is the exchange between scientists, practitioners, and stakeholders on how educational efforts can address evolving societal needs and improve decision-making under uncertainty.

This session aims to explore both foundational DRM concepts, and novel educational practices that translate geoscientific expertise into actionable knowledge. By showcasing diverse teaching methods, institutional programmes, and collaborative initiatives, we seek to support the development of an informed and resilient workforce capable of meeting the challenges of a changing risk landscape.
