“This study emphasizes the importance of the understanding of flank instabilities for the tsunami hazard assessment at active volcanoes,” says professor for marine geomechanics at GEOMAR, Dr. Morelia Urlaub,
Flash flooding in communities built in isolated canyons or valleys can be deadly for similar reasons since the road to safety can also be a potential death trap. In tsunami hazard zones, like the ones along the coasts of Oregon and Washington state, emergency managers expect that followin...
Flooding has emerged as the most prevalent natural disaster, impacting billions of individuals worldwide. However, the long-term effects of flooding exposure on dementia remain unclear. Methods With a nested case-control design, a risk-set sampling method was used to match cases and controls. Annu...
LEARN MORE: What is a hurricane storm surge, and why is it so dangerous? A constant wall of powerful winds blowing against the ocean’s surface forces water to push against the coastline, surging inland like a slow-motion tsunami. Sto...
A clear and agreed definition for mega-tsunami has become an even more pressing issue since the Japanese government is now instructing its scientists to “verify the occurrence of mega tsunamis over a time scale of several thousand years” (Central Disaster Management Council, 2011). While the po...

What can turn a natural hazard into a natural disaster? What is the difference between a fault and an earthquake? What tectonic plate is Hawaii on? What is the difference between an earthquake and a fault? What are the boundaries of tectonic plates drawn along?
A natural disaster is the effect of a natural hazard (e.g. flood, drought, tornado, volcano eruption, earthquake, typhoon, tsunami, or landslide) that affects the environment, and brings financial, environmental and human losses. We can see many natural disasters occurring at home and abroad ...
