14th February, 2013 Hosted by: University College London, London, UK
Convenors: Mirianna Budimir (University of Southampton), Melanie Duncan (University College London), Joel Gill (King’s College London)
Many populated areas are affected by more than one natural hazard, such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, landslides, tsunamis, floods, storms, and wildfires. Different hazards can overlap in time and location, so that the total impact on a community is increased by interactions between the hazards. Example of interaction types include:
This workshop brought together those with an interest in the field to to evaluate the practical applications of current research and to define key directions for future investigations into the interaction of natural hazards. |
