Learn to survive everything nature throws in your way, from avalanches to lightning. The team at Backpacker has the best tips for surviving natural hazards.
Natural hazards can have catastrophic impacts. Natural Hazards Research promotes communication between the various fields that have an interest in...
Therefore, samples of one of the most spectacular dotted granite were collected from Mueilha area located in the South Eastern Desert, Egypt. The activity concentrations were measured using high-purity germanium detector, and the inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy together with the atomic ...
A study in the Atacama Desert shows that the recovery pace of damaged subsurface materials after large earthquakes is set by the material properties, not ground shaking intensity. This finding can help postseismic hazard mitigation and reconstruction. ...
Landslides, causing significant loss of life and property, are traditionally attributed to heavy rainfall and geological or topographical factors, often overlooking strong winds. In landslide-prone forest regions, typhoon-induced strong winds can uproot
Landslides are major hazards, causing thousands of deaths around the world each year as well as damaging homes and infrastructure. Air- and space-borne remote sensing data—mainly optical imagery, InSAR, and lidar—have enabled advances in landslide identification and monitoring that can improve quant...

(a) incorporating SoV as an exposure variable in vulnerability assessments significantly influences the spatial distribution of overall vulnerability in the Helen Forest Reserve Area (HFPA). (b) The vulnerability of the social-ecological system exhibits spatial patterns correlated with the proximity of ...
(human health aspects of disasters), property, or the environment. Natural disasters are consequences of a combination of natural hazards and human damage potential and vulnerability (vulnerability concerns); an earthquake over a desert does not result in a natural disaster because the damage ...
transport from the Thar Desert towards The Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP). Aerosol Optical Depth (AOD) > 2 in the affected region indicates a high residence time of dust aerosols. DCMD is used to show the 3-hourly progression of the dust storm (initiation, spread, and gradual dissipation)...
