Natural disasters

Perhaps just as perplexing as the biggest issues at the core of Earth science is the nature of communicating about nature itself.

The study of disaster statistics and disaster occurrence is a complicated interdisciplinary field involving the interplay of new theoretical findings from several scientific fields like mathematics, physics, and computer science.
