Efficiently reducing natural hazard risks requires a thorough understanding of the costs of
natural hazards. Current methods to assess these costs employ a variety of terminologies …

Debris flows are natural processes that cause considerable economic loss and sometimes
also casualties. The motion of the debris flow is influenced by both solid and fluid forces …

Effective natural hazard risk assessment requires the characterisation of both hazards and
vulnerabilities of exposed elements. Volcanic hazard assessment is at an advanced state …

Globally, many built-up areas are threatened by multiple hazards which pose significant
