How Hazards Turn Into Disasters: Perspectives of Emergency Responders

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 7, July 2026.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards like floods, storms, or earthquakes turn into disasters if they hit vulnerable communities and societies. In policy and academia, this understanding has led to a surge of models and risk reduction policies that aim to reduce vulnerability and strengthen resilience.

Community understanding and preparedness for tsunami risk in the eastern North Island, New Zealand

open access: yes, 2007
The Indian Ocean tsunami on 26 December 2004 made many New Zealanders more aware of the devastating affects that a tsunami can have on coastal communities, and highlighted the need for people living in the coastal zone to be prepared for natural hazard ...

Satellite‐Based Assessment of Methane Emissions From the Darvaza Gas Crater

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 12, 28 June 2026.
Abstract Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and the Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan is a rare, persistent emitter. There are uncertainties regarding its formation date (either 1963 or 1971), fire ignition, and the fire's influence on methane release. Using historical Landsat imagery, we reconstruct the fire history, identifying that combustion began ...

Multi‐Step Gravity Wave Propagation From a Tropospheric Vortex to the Ionosphere Near the Tibetan Plateau

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract The atmosphere and ionosphere form a vertically coupled system in which disturbances in the lower atmosphere can modulate ionospheric variability. Using reanalysis data, ground‐based GNSS observations, and COSMIC‐2 profiles, we investigate gravity waves (GWs) generation and upward coupling during a southwest vortex (SWV) event over the Tibetan

Glacial Ice‐Front Calving: Internal Wave Generation and Melting

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 11, 16 June 2026.
Abstract Small, frequent calving events dominate the behavior of most Arctic marine‐terminating glaciers, yet their oceanographic impacts remain largely unquantified. We present the first direct observations of internal waves generated by modest ice‐fall calving at Kronebreen, Svalbard. High‐resolution current meter and microstructure measurements show
