Understanding Interconnections Between Hazards

Earthquakes that trigger 

Storms that follow wildfire and trigger 

The Center for Land Surface Hazards (CLaSH) Catalyst confronts the challenge of understanding interconnections between hazards that can greatly magnify their effects.

These cascading hazards can have cumulative impacts that are more severe than the sum of the individual events.

The pace and impact of these cascades are rapidly increasing in the face of global change and population growth, yet most research focuses on singular hazards, rather than the connections between them. Coordinated science efforts are urgently needed to understand how land surface processes work in tandem and in a changing world. 

Come join us because there’s so much to discover on the surface!
