WMO and UNDRR Launch Status Report On Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems ...

This step-by-step procedure aims to illustrate how to develop a burn severity map in order to assess areas affected by wildfires. The Normalized Burn Ratio (NBR) is used during the process as it ...

The European Environment Agency (EEA) is an agency of the European Union, with the task to provide sound, independent information on the environment. EEA is a major information source for those ...

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) has the capability to observe the Earth's surface both day and night and through most weather conditions, making it an ideal sensor to support a wide range of science ...

Since several decades ago, developed and developing countries began to implement early warning systems to reduce the impacts of natural hazards such as severe weather, floods, and tsunamis. In March ...

Tsunamis, storm surges and sea level rise are critical coastal hazards influenced by the coastal landform and elevations. Therefore, elevation data play a crucial role in determining the potential ...

A tsunami is a series of ocean waves that send water surges onto land, often causing widespread destruction. Large, undersea earthquakes or underwater volcanic eruptions and landslides typically cause ...

Floods are impacting many communities around the world, triggering devastating disasters as in the case of the recent floods in Southern Brazil in May 2024, in the South Eastern United States in ...

Storm surge is an abnormal rise of water generated by a storm, over and above the predicted astronomical tides. Storm surge is produced by water being pushed towards the shore by the force of the ...

A wildfire is an unplanned fire that burns in a natural area such as a forest, a grassland or a prairie; it can happen anywhere at any time. Wildfires are often caused by human activity or triggered ...

One of the key parameters of coastal zones is bathymetry. Bathymetry measures water depth in oceans, rivers or lakes and is used to define submarine topography. Bathymetry is used for tsunami, storm ...
