Guidelines for landslide susceptibility, hazard and risk zoning for land-use planning
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a study of the relationship between geotechnical engineering and geosciences and geophysics at the University of New South Wales and U.S. Geological Survey.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anthropological research on hazards and disasters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define a disaster as a process/event involving the combination of a potentially destructive agent(s) from the natural and/or technological environment and a population in a socially and technologically produced condition of vulnerability.

Hurricane risk perceptions among Florida's single family homeowners
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined factors contributing to hurricane risk perceptions of single-family homeowners in Florida and found that there is a good deal of consistency between residing in locations identified by experts as being high hurricane wind risk areas and homeowner risk perceptions.
Book ChapterDOI
The Nature, Properties and Management of Volcanic Soils
TL;DR: The composition of the colloidal fraction forms a continuum between pure Al-humus complexes and pure allophane/imogolite, depending on the pH and organic matter characteristics of the weathering environment as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halogens in volcanic systems
TL;DR: A review of recent advances in this field, including experimental and theoretical investigations of halogen behaviour in volcanic and related magmatic systems, including halogen abundances in the mantle and magmas on Earth, the effects of halogens on phase equilibria and melt viscosities, their partitioning between melt and fluid phase(s) upon decompression, cooling and crystallisation of magmas in the Earth's crust; and their final atmospheric release as volcanic gases are discussed in this article.
