Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.Abstract This study investigates the claim that women are disproportionately more likely to die in disasters by reviewing existing data sources and compiling new datasets on sex‐differentiated disaster fatalities in the twenty‐first century. The analysis is structured by disaster type, covering geophysical, meteorological, climatological, hydrological,

EFFECTS OF MEDU AND COASTAL TOPOGRAPHY ON THE DAMAGE PATTERN DURING THE RECENT INDIAN OCEAN TSUNAMI ALONG THE COAST OF TAMILNADU [PDF]
Science of Tsunami Hazards, 2005 Effects of Medu (naturally elevated landmass very close to the seashore and elongated parallel to the coast) and coastal topography on the damage pattern during the deadliest Indian Ocean tsunami of December 26, 2004 is reported.

, 2010 A tsunami is a sea wave or series of waves produced by large disturbances of the sea floor that are of relatively short duration. Such disturbances cause the water column to move vertically and the resulting wave energy to spread outwards across the ocean surface at high speed.

How Hazards Turn Into Disasters: Perspectives of Emergency Responders
Risk 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.

When Should a Tsunami Not Be Called a Tsunami?
EosIt’s time to redefine the term so it more clearly conveys meaningful risks to coastal communities and prompts them to act when needed.

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

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

Geophysical 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
Geophysical 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

Tuning the Photochemistry of Entatic State Model Systems
Zeitschrift für anorganische und allgemeine Chemie, Volume 652, Issue 9, 3 June 2026.We present the photochemistry of the entatic state model [Cu(DMEGqu)2]+/2+, a copper guanidino‐quinoline complex pair. By transient IR and UV/Vis spectroscopy, we obtained the lifetimes of the different excited states. We show that the structural effect of the guanidine tunes the photochemistry of this entatic state model.
