TL;DR: In this article, a heuristic model of social capacity building for natural hazards is developed by taking into account a wide range of existing expertise from different fields of research, with particular attention paid to social vulnerability and its assessment, as well as to risk communication and risk education.

TL;DR: The rationale for a pragmatic semiotics of risk communication between scientists developing flood models and forecasts and those professional groups who are the receptors for flood risk estimates and warnings in the UK is developed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify some of the factors contributing to the piping process in abandoned terraces in seven sites located in the Murcia Region (southeast Spain) and conclude that terracing which is intended as a conservation practice has, in dispersive materials, actually enhanced piping, leading to the abandonment of farming.

TL;DR: A detailed field investigation of the pedological, textural, mineralogical and geochemical properties of the clay-rich terrains widely outcropping in two selected badland field sites (the Fossa Bradanica area and the Bacino di Sant'Arcangelo) was undertaken to further elucidate process variability across the complex site.

TL;DR: In this paper, a meso-scale closed system model for the evolution of connected states in regionally isolated badlands is developed, applicable to systems evolving towards a fixed base level within a less erosive "host" landscape.
