There is no such thing as a “natural disaster.” Earthquakes, floods, or storms are natural hazards—but disasters result from human choices: exposure, poor planning, weak infrastructure, and low resilience. Disasters are not inevitable. Reduce risk. www.undrr.org/our-impact/c...

Planning to attend #EGU25? I'll be presenting results from the @ncn.gov.pl - funded #TSUNASTORM project, tackling a key question: what remains of the Indian Ocean #tsunami deposits after 20 years? 📅 28 April (Monday), 14:25 📍 Session GM8.4, Room G1 See you there!

GEORAM’25 will take place on 24–25 April in Gułtowy, near Poznań, Poland. The event is organized by the Geohazards Research Unit, AMU Poznań. This year’s focus: tsunami and storm hazards, explored through @ncn.gov.pl funded projects PALEOSUMA and TSUNASTORM.

Today is 20th anniversary of the tragic 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. I have studied its impacts in Thailand shortly after that. Recently, I revisited the same sites after 20 years with collaborators from DMR within my latest @NCN_PL grant, TSUNASTORM. Can you still recognize tsunami deposits?

20 lat temu miało miejsce tragiczne tsunami na Oceanie Indyjskim - pierwsze tsunami, które badałem i nadal badam. O tym czego nauczyliśmy się od tego czasu i o aktualnie prowadzonych badaniach w gramach grantów @ncngovpl.bsky.social opowiadam w rozmowie z radiem RMF rmf24.pl/nauka/news-2...

Do you plan to attend #AGU24? I am happy to give talks on the results of the TSUNASTORM project, the #storm vs #tsunami deposits problem applying #sedaDNA (Monday 16:45 session NH14B), and on carbon burial in the fjords of South Georgia (Thursday 14:25 session C43G). See you! @ncngovpl.bsky.social
