- Studying Hazards, Responding to Disasters | U. S. Geological Survey
USGS geologists respond to damaging earthquakes in active tectonic regions of the United States and around the world, rapidly providing critical information to those who need it
- Understanding Human Behavior Response to Disasters
Human behavior during disasters is shaped by a complex interplay of psychological, social, cultural, and economic factors Understanding these elements is critical to improving disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts
- Prediction of humans’ behaviors during a disaster: The Behavioral . . .
First, a systematic literature review on the identification and the relations between behavioral factors, behavioral patterns and humans’ reactions during catastrophic events is performed
- Ch 9 Living with Disasters - Open Geography Education
As the rocks begin to bend or strain under tectonic forces, large amounts of energy, called strain, builds When the stress becomes too great for the rocks to hold, segments may suddenly snap, releasing large amounts of energy, called the elastic rebound theory
- Understanding the Devastating Impacts of Geological Hazards on Society . . .
These natural phenomena—earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and landslides—don’t just move rocks and soil; they fundamentally impact human life, destroy property worth billions of dollars, and create lasting environmental changes that can persist for decades
- The link between deadly volcanos, climate change and mass extinctions
He uses novel techniques developed by Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) to investigate the link between special rock formations produced by massive volcanic eruptions — called large igneous provinces (LIPs) — and the most severe mass extinctions over the past 540 million years
- Individual and community behavioral responses to natural disasters
Using detailed county level administrative data of charitable contributions, crime and natural hazards in the USA in the recent decade, we empirically identify and quantify the causal effect of natural disasters on prosocial and antisocial behavioral reactions
- How Do Catastrophic Events Impact Ecosystems? - Green Packs
This interconnectedness highlights the importance of sustainable practices and proactive measures in ecosystem management, emphasizing how human activities can exacerbate or mitigate the impacts of catastrophic events
