The effects of flood events on agriculture only received limited attention so far. A new study by a team of GFZ scientists from the section Hydrology, in cooperation with a colleague from the Hessian State Office for Agriculture, assesses the risk…
The Earth’s history is preserved in tree-rings, sediments or layers of ice, to name but a few. How much sediment is accumulated over centuries, millennia or even millions of years depends on the rates with which mountains erode. The more precise the…
Again and again Southeast Asia is affected by natural hazards. The most remembered painful event so far was with no doubt the devastating tsunami in the Indian Ocean of 2004, triggered by an earthquake, which caused the death of more than 230,000…
