Natural Hazards and Climate Change: Relation, Vulnerability, Implications, and Adaptation

Session ID#: 83399

Session Description:
The magnitude and frequency of natural hazards such as droughts, hurricanes, rainfall-induced landslides, heatwaves, forest fires, and floods are affected by increasing global surface temperatures. In fact, the increasing severity and recurrence of natural disasters, at regional and global scales, have been cited as corroborative evidence for climate change.

This session aims at bringing together experts from various disciplines who are investigating the relation between climate change and natural hazards. We encourage submissions on: (i) research exploring observed and projected natural hazard variations due to climate change, (ii) investigations assessing the vulnerability and the implications of changing magnitudes and frequencies of natural hazards on transportation, agriculture, city planning, water resources and more, and (iii) research exploring the adaptability measures to ongoing and future climate related changes in natural hazards.
