Published by Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI)
eISSN : 2624-795X
Abbreviation : GeoHazards
Aims & Scope
The broad scope of GeoHazards encompasses the following research areas: Geophysical/ Geological Hazards: earthquakes; volcanoes; and tsunamis.
Climatological and Climate-Change-Related Hazards: droughts; extreme heat; desertification; soil erosion; soil expansion; coastal erosion; and sea level-rise.
Meteorological Hazards: wildfires; hurricanes, typhoons, cyclones and tornadoes; monsoons; thunderstorms; extreme temperatures; severe winter storms; windstorms; and sand/dust storms.
Hydrological Hazards: storm surges; river floods; flash floods; and land subsidence.
Mass-Movement Hazards: debris movements (landslides, rock falls, debris flows, mudflows and avalanches); and sinkholes.
Anthropogenic and Technological Hazards: terrorism; explosions; urban fires; air pollution and atmospheric dispersion; industrial accidents; infrastructure failures; induced earthquakes; technological accidents triggered by natural disasters.
Applications: detecting, monitoring, mapping, and modeling hazards (frequencies and magnitudes; spatial and temporal variability); risk assessment and damage scenarios; multi-hazard analyses and cascading effects; risk and vulnerability reduction; physical, social and economic resilience; disaster response and reconstruction; social exposure; and risk perception, communication and education.
