Centre d'Etude des Risques Géologiques (CERG):

"The goal of the CERG is to form experts who can advise the public and private sectors to take preventive measures which can reduce the impact of natural disasters. It is usually taught at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, with field studies in Switzerland and in neighbouring countries such as France and Italy.

In 1996, the course was held at the Mona Campus of the University of The West Indies, Kingston, Jamaica. During this time, two weeks were spent in Montserrat Island (Caribbean) to analyse the ongoing volcanic crisis. In 2001, the course was held in San José (Costa Rica) in cooperation with the University of Costa Rica.

Information in English, Spanish and French and an application form can be found on-line."
