Disaster RiskHow do volcanoes trigger tsunamis?
Volcanic eruptions often have far-reaching consequences, both in their impact and geographical extent. A deeper understanding of the complex processes that cause such events can enable more accurate hazard forecasting while improving preparedness and mitigation strategies.
Complex and dangerous
Volcanic activity can also trigger multiple hazards.

How do glaciers behave in a warming climate?
Glacier monitoring in alpine regions is crucial for understanding how glaciers respond to climate change, how they impact water resources and ecosystems, and their role in natural hazards.
A recent study tested a novel monitoring approach using a low-cost camera system.
Traditional glacier monitoring methods like satellite imaging provide broad co…Adapted by Ottevanger, M. 6 min

How can explainable AI contribute to natural hazard prediction?
What is explainable AI?
Explainable AI is a very recent development in artificial intelligence. It deals with tools typically belonging to the family of AI, such as deep learning, that become so complex that they cannot be easily interpreted. Explainable AI is a post-processing tool that is put to work after a machine learning model, typically a …
