Geophysical mass flows, such as landslides, avalanches or debris flows, are frequent mass movement processes in mountain areas and often cause disastrous damage.

This book provides a comprehensive description of the volcanological, petrological and geochemical features of the Poas Volcano (Costa Rica), one of the most active volcanic systems in Central America and part of the Central America Volcanic Arc (CAVA).

Landslides in cold regions have different mechanisms from those in other areas, and comparatively few research efforts have been made in this field.

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.

In the past, facilities considered to be at the end of their useful life were demolished and replaced with new ones that better met the functional requirements of modern society, including new safety standards.

This book addresses the evaluation of environmental impacts and services identified in headwaters of different eco-zones around the world.
