The harmful legacy of colonialism in natural hazard risk The colonial practices of geoscience have created long term vulnerabilities to natural hazards. In this comment the ongoing consequence are explored of colonialism as well as the actions that are needed to be taken to reduce natural hazard ris...
” Jukes commented on many environmental issues from a biochemical perspective, discussing a ban on using certain growth agents in cattle (he had researched the growth effects of adding antibiotics to livestock feed), and examining the hazards of ozone-depleting aerosol spray cans and the pesticide...

Fortunately, I don’t need to say very much; Sandifer does not understand the decision theory involved and his discussion of information hazards never strays beyond the literary. For one, Sandifer’s explanation of timeless decision theory suggests it relies on “intense contortions of the many-...
Not only do toxic chemicals poison air, soil, and water, but humans (especially children) and pets are affected. Many toxic chemicals make their way into our homes. For tips on how we can minimize home hazards, see orOrganic Homepage. For more information on how we can protect our childre...

As with other hazards, the ability to anticipate landslide occurrence is key to the design and the implementation of effective risk reduction strategies11,12,13. In the literature, two approaches are used to predict in space and time the short-term – from a few to tens of hours – occurren...
