During the past 70 years, Peruvian engineers virtually eliminated the risks posed by glacial lake floods. But climate change and a political blind eye are increasing the dangers once again.Read More »Natural Hazards
The first multidecadal, satellite-based study of Latin America’s most active volcanoes could help researchers better predict eruptions.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Using nearly 50 years of satellite data and records stretching back millennia, scientists determine the relative frequency—and the erosional power—of monsoon- and earthquake-induced landslides in Nepal.Read More »Natural Hazards
A new framework assesses the economic impact of space weather on power distribution networks and the supply of electricity.Read More »Science Policy & Funding
The Resilience Genome Initiative will empower a cadre of transdisciplinary resilience engineers to adopt and continuously develop climate adaptation solutions.Read More »Natural Hazards
Pipeline corrosion is an example of why we need better awareness of how long-term exposure to moderate space weather may have significant economic impact by slowly degrading vulnerable systems.Read More »Natural Hazards
Developments in geophysical methods used to monitor surface and subsurface changes prior to landslides can lead to improved prediction and early warning.Read More »Geology & Geophysics
Stromboli’s volcanic cone may have suffered multiple flank collapses between the 14th and 16th centuries, triggering tsunamis that led to the abandonment of the island.Read More »Climate Change
The impact of space weather on power grids in Mediterranean countries, such as Italy, needs deeper assessment, including consideration of coastal effects, ground conductivity, and failure reports.Read More »
