Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural disasters continue to preoccupy society and policy-makers, especially in vulnerable regions. These extreme pulses or hazards, when occurring with an intensity or duration above a sustainable threshold, can cause high disruptions of livelihoods and socio-economic activities, which might result in long-term structural changes in the societal recovery capacity. Extreme events responsible for these natural hazards of hydrological and meteorological origin can occur as part of the natural climate variability associated, for example, with the El Niño-Southern Oscillation phenomenon and with monsoon occurrences. However, the long-term effects of the increase of greenhouse gases concentration in the atmosphere, due to human activities and land use changes linked to intensive agriculture and deforestation, have altered the global energy and hydrological cycles, leading to changes in the intensity, frequency, duration, and spatial extent of extreme events related to the occurrence of these natural disasters. This Special Issue aims to present and discuss the nature of some recent natural disasters and their societal impacts and to describe the latest findings on the impact of climate change on different components of natural disasters and of the hazardous events causing them.
