Webinar: A Recipe For Disaster: the 2023 Türkiye Earthquakes
Globally, two thirds of deaths arising from natural hazards in recent decades were caused by geological hazards. But how and why do natural hazards turn into disasters? In this talk Ekbal Hussain will explore this question through the lens of one particularly troublesome hazard: earthquakes.
Webinar: Flash Floods in a Changing Landscape
Extreme events, such as floods, can cause significant damage to landscapes leading to widespread erosion and deposition of sediment. In the future, the frequency and magnitude of such events will increase as a result of climate change. Here, we identify the critical controls on sediment export from three contrasting tributary catchments in Upper Swaledale by examining the changes caused by a single high magnitude flash flood event in July 2019.
