We propose a methodological approach for a comprehensive and total probabilistic tsunami hazard assessment (TotPTHA), in which many different possible source types concur to the definition of the total tsunami hazard at given target sites. In a multi-haz...

Droughts are among the costliest natural hazards in the U.S. and globally. The severity of the hazard is closely related to a region?s ability to cope and recover from the event, an ability that depends on the region?s sensitivity and adaptive capacity. ...
