Natural Hazards and Climate Change

Large populations live in areas prone to natural hazards like volcanism, earthquakes, floods, and landslides, often worsened by climate change. Rising sea levels, shifting rainfall, and melting ice elevate risks for, e.g., tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, and even the frequency of earthquakes. As vulnerable regions grow, more people face danger. This round table will explore research on monitoring, early warning, modeling, and public engagement to help society better prepare for these threats.
