Risk identification and assessment

A new study published on March 29 in Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres provides the first comprehensive look at how baseline updates influence the detection of extreme climate events across China.

High vulnerability and exposure main driver behind Kinshasa’s deadly floods following heavy, but not unusual rainfall.

This study presents the first observational assessment (1951–2022) of summertime hot–wet compound events across global coastal megacities.

Fiber optic cable deployed on a Swiss glacier detected the seismic signals of crevasses opening in the ice, confirming that the technology could be useful in monitoring such icequakes, according to a report at the SSA Annual Meeting.

A new study warns of a dramatic rise in heatwave exposure across Central Asia's croplands by the end of the 21st century, viewing the combined effects of climate change and shifting patterns of land use as dominant drivers.

An international study published in Communications Earth & Environment used advanced earthquake simulations to better anticipate the rupture process of large earthquakes.

New research shows that saltwater intrusion is on the rise globally. Researchers found in most cases that the salt front is moving further upstream, primarily due to sea level rise and reduced river discharge, making rivers saltier.

Ash may lack the visual impact of flowing lava, but it travels farther, lasts longer and leaves deep scars.
