 Compound, Cascading, and Multihazard Perils: Lessons Learnt from Hurricanes Helene and Milton Open
The 2024 hurricane season presented unique challenges in hydrological and risk modeling with the consecutive landfalls of Hurricanes Helene and Milton in Florida, USA. This study investigates the compounded, cascading, and multihazard peri…

Commentary on the struggle over abortion in the USA Open
This short paper considers the implications of the anti-abortion movement as part of a larger historical project of male domination, domination of nature, and exploitation of labor. It emphasizes how the attempt to control the mother and h…

Emergent characteristics of rockfall inventories captured at a regional scale Open
High‐resolution rockfall inventories captured at a regional scale are scarce. This is partly owing to difficulties in measuring the range of possible rockfall volumes with sufficient accuracy and completeness, and at a scale exceeding the …

Transferability of a calibrated numerical model of rock avalanche run‐out: Application to 20 rock avalanches on the Nuussuaq Peninsula, West Greenland Open
Long run‐out rock avalanches are one of the most hazardous geomorphic processes, and risk assessments of the threat they pose are often reliant on numerical modelling of their potential run‐out distance. The development of such models requ…

Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes Open
Landslides triggered by large earthquakes in mountainous regions contribute significantly to overall earthquake losses and pose a major secondary hazard that can persist for months or years. While scientific investigations of coseismic lan…

Rapid post-earthquake modelling of coseismic landslide intensity and distribution for emergency response decision support Open
Current methods to identify coseismic landslides immediately after an earthquake using optical imagery are too slow to effectively inform emergency response activities. Issues with cloud cover, data collection and processing, and manual la…
