The story had a major impact on me personally. I've covered many disasters - massive fires, floods, riots, earthquakes - but Hurricane Katrina was beyond category in what I had previously experienced. When I returned home I was in the process of moving, and didn't watch television or conn...
Satellite imagery and geographic information system (GIS) maps can give emergency and disaster response officials a wealth of information for assessment, analysis, and monitoring of natural disasters such ashurricanes, tornadoes, volcanoes, earthquakes, and cyclone damage from small to large regions aroun...

Understanding the mechanics of convergent margins is fundamental to assessing risks from earthquakes and trans-oceanic tsunamis. Marine observations of the past decade have advanced that understanding. A once commonly inferred accreted wedge extending from trench axes to shelves is now resolved into 3 do...
Knossoson the island of Crete was the legendary home of King Minos. His palace was built c. 1800 BCE, but evidence indicates settlements were present on Crete as early as7000 BCE. Multiplepalaces (and renovations) have existed at Knossos due to destruction brought on by fire,...
Since melts and phlogopite both have low frictional strength, damaging thrust earthquakes are unlikely to occur in the vicinity of the melting sediments, while increased fluid pressures may promote the occurrence of small magnitude earthquakes and episodic tremor and slip....
Europe’s spaceport in Kourou, French Guiana, in 1995, and orbited Earth at an average altitude for 488 miles (785 km). The mission gathered valuable data on Earth’s land surfaces, oceans, and polar caps, while also capturing imagery of natural disasters such as flooding and earthquakes....
