Therefore, accurate assessment of volcanic-tectonic hazards, and estimation of possible future volcanic activity, is necessary for the safety of the five million people living near these volcanoes.doi:10.1016/S0377-0273(00)00258-4Daniel B Karner...
Wildfire smoke increasingly covers large swaths of the US at a time when solar energy is rapidly expanding. Yet, average photovoltaic solar resource losses remain modest outside areas immediately near active fires, where plumes are fresh and dense. ...
informed about how to lessen societal risk related to these hazards, and motivated to take risk-reducing actions. This knowledge base and accompanying appreciation of volcano hazards are needed to increase the interest and ability of public officials to ...
Some risks are viewed as the consequence of living in a particular location, and while these may be an accepted part of a given lifestyle, that does not necessarily mean that they are acceptable to the wider community (or society) at large. For example, Bangladeshis may accept the ...
Biological hazard: a hazard caused by the exposure to living organisms and/or the toxic substances or vector-borne diseases that they may carry. Extraterrestrial hazard: a hazard caused by asteroids, meteoroids, and comets as they pass near earth, enter the earth’s atmosphere, and/or strike ...
A more in depth, and upclose search will show you that near the area of Mission Hills, there are three faults. There is the Santa Susana Fault that runs through Granada Hills and Los Angeles, all the way through part of the San Fernando Fault Zone. Mission Hills Fault can be seen ...
Thus, our synthesis of modelling methods can facilitate their selection that can maximise opportunities and refute the current political hesitation of NBS deployment compared with grey solutions for HMR management but also for the provision of a wide range of social and economic co-benefits. However,...
Coastal communities are highly exposed to ocean- and -related hazards but often lack an accurate population and infrastructure database. On January 15, 2022 and for many days thereafter, the Kingdom of Tonga was cut off from the rest of the world by a de
The ever-expanding use of areas near the volcano increases the potential impact of future eruptions on the regional economy and on the health and safety of the inhabitants5. The increasing exposure of a larger population, which has almost tripled in the area around Mt. Etna during the last ...
Exposure to environmental hazards, such as residing near contaminated sites or waste landfills, has significant negative effects on the resident population (Pasetto et al.,2019), and can result in a wide range of health issues, both in the short term and over the long term (Mattiello et al...
