Five glacier-related mass movements in the Chilean Central Andes during the last century are showcased. Based on field and remote-sensed geomorphologic evidence, their landscape impact is discussed.
Sense of place and land-management in Tadami Biosphere Reserve’s risk landscape: anthropological insights for community resilience
The study evaluates the influence of sense of place, derived from human interactions with their biophysical environment, on community resilience to natural hazards.
Cross-border harmonization of site-specific avalanche risk assessment: the CAIROS project promotes the role of local avalanche commissions
Avalanche commissions are panels of local people that mitigate avalanche risks. The CAIROS project aims to strengthen their role.
Scoping EIA from Disaster Perspective
The paper reviews India’s EIA, highlighting gaps in disaster risk reduction and recommending DRR integration to prevent environmental degradation-induced disasters.
Adapting the open-source model com4FlowPy for regional-scale modeling of forests with a direct object-protective function against gravitational mass flows
We introduce the open-source GMF runout model com4FlowPy and its “back-tracking” functionality, which can be used for regional-scale modeling of forests with a direct object-protective function.
Social Cohesion Structures and the Tonari Gumi System in Tadami, Japan
This study explores the cultural expressions of social cohesion identified in Tadami, and their contribution to community resilience to natural hazards, climate change and rural outmigration.
Elevating Mountain Voices: The Case for Disaster Resilient Infrastructure in Mountains
The CDRI publication on DRI in mountain regions advocates for resilient infrastructure, highlights good practices, and supports the Mountain Resilience Programme’s efforts.
Wood in Motion: understanding wood dynamics in disturbed catchments
Large disturbances trigger wood recruitment, impacting river dynamics and infrastructure. This study highlights the importance of integrating wood into river management plans.
Empirical Modelling of Snow Avalanche–Forest Interaction with com4FlowPy’s Forest Friction Module
This study investigates the potential and limitations of the empirical avalanche simulation model com4FlowPy and its Forest Friction Module in reproducing the effects of forests on avalanche runout.
Computing the impact from cascading multi-hazards for preparedness in Nepal
This study develops a computational framework to assess cascading multi-hazards in Nepal, analyzing hazard interactions and impacts to inform preparedness planning.
