Thrilled to share our latest publication "Visualizing uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling using bivariate mapping" nhess.copernicus.org/articles/

What’s inside:
✅ A new way to jointly visualize susceptibility & uncertainty in landslide prediction
✅ Practical, open-source tools for implementation in R and QGIS

Loved the interdisciplinarity of this project

#NaturalHazards and extreme weather events can not only cause devastating fatalities and immediate destruction, but they also have long-lasting financial impacts that disrupt development progress or reverse development gains.

In one of our latest comment pieces, a collective of authors discuss how closer coordination between science and practice is essential for developing effective insurance programmes that can address inequitable protection gaps: journalofcrr.com/comment/02-01

A reminder that while PG&E is concerned about natural gas safety, that may not be enough :

Fired #climate scientist Tom Di Liberto says lives are at risk from #extremeweather as more cuts loom over the U.S. government agency responsible for #forecasting and much more. Di Liberto lost his job as part of a massive purge by the Trump administration, and worries the layoffs will not only cost the U.S. more money, but will cripple weather forecasting across the continent, leaving many people vulnerable to #NaturalHazards

Paper by Mitchell Anderson, which I contributed to, published about the concept "functional isolation", related to isolation (when you cannot access a facility) and cascading failures (when there are indirect loss of utilities).

Dear colleagues,
We are in the final days for submitting abstracts to the #EGU25.
For those submitting, do consider the already "traditional" session on costs of #NaturalHazards. All types of costs, not just direct and tangible ones, are welcomed.

Greetings from all Co-Conveners. Hope to see you in Vienna!

So, back on the birdsite, I maintained a public list titled #GlobalAlerts. One of my favorite accounts from the birdsite, @ai6yr, graciously hosts and maintains a number of alert-bots here on Mastodon. If you miss having #NWS and #EmergencyAlerts, please consider creating your own list with these accounts... Suggestions welcome!

@ai6yr
The account of AI6YR Ben, on his own server. Also at @ai6yr (ham radio). Yes, I'm the guy who found that hiker using only the selfie of his feet. If you want to support this server, patreon.com/ai6yr

@easwatch
#EAS warning bot *EXPERIMENTAL* Do not use for official advice.

@watchduty_bot
This is an automated bot which toots out new #wildfires reported by WatchDuty (app.watchduty.org). Not run by WatchDuty. Created by @ai6yr

@trueinfections
With the onset of the Global Village, there's no need for trek or safari to hunt for #viruses, #bacteria and other new #pathogens. Just wait. They'll be right at your door.

@disasters
A dedicated service that provides near-realtime updates on #NaturalHazards worldwide. Using data feeds from the United Nations and European Commission, I offer timely notifications within a 5-minute interval concerning #earthquakes, #tsunamis, #volcanos, #floods, and #wildfires. 🚨 Follow me for near-realtime alerts.

@CopernicusEU
Unofficial automated mirror. No copyright asserted. ∎ The #EarthObservation component of the EU Space Programme

@zoom_earth
Interactive #weather map and #hurricane tracker. Real-time satellite imagery, radar, and forecast maps.

@droughtcenter
We're the National #Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Our mission is to reduce the effects of drought on people, the environment and the economy with cutting-edge science and thoughtful planning. We host the U.S. Drought Monitor, the nation's leading resource to track drought conditions. #drought #DroughtMonitor #climate #science #data #maps #planning

@solarflarealert
Automated postings based on GOES X-ray flux for at least M-class #SolarFlares.

@g7izu
#SolarStorms, aurora and radio propagation mostly for around the UK and Europe. Alerts are informational only and are not official. I post about various other subjects as well, but always hope to be informative and interesting. I am *NOT* a professional space weather forecaster, but it is my hobby.

@nws_ntwc_bot
This automated bot toots out: NWS NTWC(direct), and #NWS PTWC bulletins (direct) (UNOFFICIAL). ***EXPERIMENTAL - Don't bet your life on it*** Created by @ai6yr

@usgsvolcanoes_bot
This is a bot account which toots the content that shows up on the USGS #Volcanoes Twitter account. NOT OFFICIAL. Experimental, too. Created by @ai6yr

@fdarecall_bot
This bot toots out #FDARecalls that are posted by the #FDA. NOT OFFICIAL. Created by @ai6yr

@bigquakes_bot
This automated account toots out whenever there is a notable #earthquake around the world, in real time. Data via the USGS. Created by @ai6yr

@eqnz
(Unofficial) #geonet earthquake feed. Posts #earthquakes felt in #NewZealand at at least an intensity of III (weak)

’He says the south-east is on track for the wettest December since 2010, when 479mm of rain fell in a month.

‘So far this December, the region has recorded 301mm, with more to come over the next two weeks’.

Congratulations to Dr. Fiona D'Arcy, who successfully defended her Ph.D. thesis, "Carbon isotopes as monitoring tools for active volcanic systems"(John Stix, supervisor). Fiona designed and flew gas sampling systems on UAVs into the gas plumes of Poás, Costa Rica and Stromboli, Italy.

#McGillUniversity #Stromboli #Poas #CostaRica #Italy #UAV #Volcanoes #Volcanology #NaturalHazards

A figure from the paper: D'Arcy et al. (2024) "Large Isotopic Shift in Volcanic Plume CO2 Prior to a Basaltic Paroxysmal Explosion", GRL.

The figure shows the design of three gas sampling systems flown into the crater of Stromboli. The sampled gas (in bags) was then analyzed for carbon isotopes on the ground.

To address global challenges such as #NaturalHazards and #ClimateChange we need open and transparent exchange of knowledge and ideas - which is why we operate as a #DiamondOpenAccess journal. Find out more here: journalofcrr.com/research/
