New in @science.org: Natural hazards aren’t “one and done.” They alter the landscape, changing the likelihood of follow-on events. We argue there’s an urgent opportunity for geomorphologists—working with other disciplines—to better understand and forecast cascading hazards.

We're in @science.org! Prof. @geomorphyuggs.bsky.social and colleagues with a review paper on the processes that influence sequences of "cascading" natural hazards (such as debris flows and flooding after a fire), which compound the risk to life and property. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Recent research from newly-defended Dr. Kwesi Quagraine, Profs. Travis O'Brien and Ben Kravitz, and colleagues: how might atmospheric rivers and their impacts be altered as a result of changes in solar radiation? iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1...
