A Framework for Quantifying Diverse Multi‐Hazard Interactions to Enhance Climate Resilience
A generalized framework for quantifying multi‐hazard interactions is developed and applied across four European regions. The framework captures regional hazard dependencies and joint probabilities, with methods tailored to different temporal scales. Results indicate increasing multi‐hazard event frequency under future climate scenarios, highlighting ...

Abstract Ground deformation of dormant volcanoes provides critical insights into subsurface processes and potential hazards. Here we present Sentinel‐1 Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) time series (2015–2020) for Changbaishan volcano, the largest intraplate volcanic system in East Asia. We detect persistent subsidence of up to 3.5 mm/yr

Cold‐Air Pooling and Temperature‐Elevation Mapping in a Colorado Watershed
Abstract Near‐surface air temperature grids are important environmental model forcings. In narrow mountain valleys, most gridded products are too coarse to resolve variability across slopes, so regional studies often map temperature across terrain following locally determined lapse rates.

Combining paleoecology and modeling to explore cascading disturbances in forest ecosystems
Climate‐induced cascading disturbance interactions pose a major challenge to the sustainable provision of forest ecosystem services to society. Developing a deeper understanding and enhanced capacity to simulate these interactions is essential for identifying disturbance‐induced tipping points in forest ecosystems, and for improving management in ...

Disposition Model for Permafrost Degradation in Mountainous Regions
ABSTRACT Permafrost is a widespread thermal phenomenon in Arctic and high mountain regions that, in combination with steep terrain, exerts a key control on slope stability. Its degradation in response to climatic warming can modify the likelihood and timing of rockfall, debris flow and related mass movements. Robust information on the current state and

THEORY AND PRACTICE OF INDIVIDUAL SNOW AVALANCHE RISK ASSESSMENT IN THE RUSSIAN ARCTIC
In recent years, the Government of the Russian Federation considerably increased attention to the exploitation of the Russian Arctic territories. Simultaneously, the evaluation of snow avalanches danger was enhanced with the aim to decrease fatalities ...

ABSTRACT Due to its subsurface nature, permafrost cannot be directly observed with the naked eye or optical remote sensing. Consequently, accurately describing its distribution and thermal state is challenging. This is especially true in vast, remote environments, where obtaining comprehensive field data is demanding or improbable.

ABSTRACT Aim Treeline ecotones are key indicators of environmental change, yet their responses to climate warming vary markedly across landscapes. This study investigates how elevation and local environmental contexts moderate warming effects on treeline dynamics. Location French Pyrenees. Time Period 1950s to 2015.

Shallow Landslides Align With Atmospheric Rivers in Coastal Steeplands
Abstract Rapid, shallow landslides in coastal mountains are triggered by extreme precipitation, shaping topography and impacting human settlements. Using an inventory of >700 landslides mapped from satellite imagery (2009–2024) and an atmospheric river database (1981–2019), this study documents linkages between climatic drivers and the topographic ...
