TL;DR: In this paper, an analysis of satellite imagery, seismic records, numerical model results, and eyewitness videos reveals that ~27x106 m3 of rock and glacier ice collapsed from the steep north face of Ronti Peak.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined trends and variability of rainfall in Uttarakhand state of western Himalaya, India and found that the variability of monsoon rainfall was lowest for all stations and seasons, while the winters show low variability.

TL;DR: The International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990-1999) was one of the important international initiatives followed by the International strategy for disaster reduction (1999), the Yokohama Strategy (1994), the Hyogo Framework for Action (2005), and most recently the Sendai Framework, the Paris Agreement, and the Sustainable Development Goals (all in 2015).

TL;DR: It is shown that rainfall modelled using CHIRPS corresponds well with the observational record in confirming the decreased annual and seasonal rainfall, and PERSIANN-CDR data show reduced annual and winter precipitation, although there is a trend (albeit not statistically significant) to higher rainfall after the marked dry period between 1998 and 2008.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the science, causes, impacts and risk reduction strategies for climate change and disasters, focusing on the use of traditional knowledge, new innovation and education to build a culture of safety and resilience at all levels in order to promote sustainable development goals in general and disaster risk reduction in particular.
