Multi-Risk Forecasting: Operational Reality or Scientific Ambition?

Reflections from a workshop on multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems for weather-related hazards.

  Reflections from a workshop on multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems for weather-related hazards.   With mounting evidence that hazards rarely occur in isolation, the question is no longer whether multi-risk impact-based forecasting and warning systems are needed, but how to build them [1]. Yet, moving beyond single-hazard thinking towards genuinely multi-hazard and then …[Read More]

Beyond Navigation: How GNSS Reveals Earth’s Hidden Secrets

Beyond Navigation: How GNSS Reveals Earth’s Hidden Secrets

Part 2 – the regional case In our previous post, we discussed global scale phenomena, showing how the Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) constellation is the ultimate instrument for monitoring the Earth as a whole: tracking plate tectonics, defining the planet’s absolute size, and measuring variations of its gravity field. Essentially, the big questions of …[Read More]

A Free Tool That Maps Ancient Coastlines Like an Expert

A Free Tool That Maps Ancient Coastlines Like an Expert

by Julius Jara Muñoz, Professor of Engineering Geology at the University of Applied Sciences Biberach (Hochschule Biberach), Germany. Email: jara@hochschule-bc.de, website: https://www.hochschule-biberach.de/kontakt/julius-jara-munoz. “Reproducibility is a cornerstone of the scientific method, yet measuring ancient coastlines has long depended on expert judgment – until now”. Coastlines are highly dynamic systems controlled by sea-level changes and surface deformation. Over thousands …[Read More]
