It is, however, possible to be prepared and mitigate the effects of the natural hazards. The Canadian government creates awareness and invests in the studies of these natural occurrences. It has been seen in the past that whenever a hazard is predictable, the government will make efforts to ev...

The town of Chapala, on the shores of Lake Chapala—Mexico’s largest natural lake—played an important role in the history of tourism in North America and has become one of the world’s premier retirement destinations. Yet, the details of how and why this transformation occurred have never ...
The events of this terrible disaster, which have echoes of Katrina in terms of a natural event being compounded by human mistakes, are primarily told using the exact language of a Board of Public Health report. The approach of this chapter gives the reader exposure to another key disaster and...
back to a century earlier, Father Antonio Tello, in describing the province of Xalisco (Jalisco) offers lots of information about plants, animals, natural hazards, rivers and natural hot springs, while speculating about whether underwater springs fed Lake Chapala, Mexico’s largest natural lake. ...
ABAG even has maps for other natural hazards such as wildfires and flooding. Some words of caution: • Because these hazard maps are based on general infor- mation, they are reasonably accurate for a neighbor- hood, but much less accurate for a particular address. • The maps in ...
Climate change and environmental hazards affect the entire world, but their interactions with—and consequences on—human migration are unevenly distributed geographically. Research on climate and migration have their own geographies which do not necessarily coincide. This paper critically confronts these two...
He outlines five problem areas that should become the main concern of the discipline: (1) economic evaluation of resources, (2) study of natural hazards, (3) the fight against environmental pollution, (4) locational patterns of production that will reduce or eliminate the effects of pollution,...
cjD. As a robustness check we also use a parametric hazards model assuming a Gompertz distribution, which has a baseline hazardh0(t) of exp (γt)exp (β0), whereγ, an ancillary parameter, controls the shape of the baseline hazard function. The choice of the Gompertz distribution is ...
Abstract Over the past 50 years, 239 papers related to snow have been published in Water Resources Research (WRR). Seminal papers on virtually every facet of snow physics and snow water resources have appeared in the journal. These include papers on drifting snow, the snow surface energy ...
