A new modeling platform, tested on two recent natural disasters, simulates conditions that dump landslide debris into rain-swollen rivers, often causing more damage than the landslides themselves.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
Synthetic aperture radar data post-processing can be used to analyze changes in the landscape, providing a useful tool for disaster response.Read More »Natural Hazards
Weather forecasts combine many model predictions to create an ensemble that is more accurate than separate models, a technique now starting to be applied in space weather science.Read More »Natural Hazards
Ensemble techniques are opening a path toward space weather forecasts that give deeper understanding of the risk posed by each solar storm that approaches our planet.Read More »Hydrology, Cryosphere & Earth Surface
