Natural hazards such as earthquakes, floods, and landslides pose significant risks to human populations, infrastructure, and ecosystems. These hazards rarely occur in isolation; they often trigger or interact with other processes, leading to multi-hazard effects. For instance, an earthquake may trigger landslides, which in turn can block rivers, causing floods. Accurate prediction and simulation of … Read more

How many Wadden Islands will still exist in 2100? The answer to this question depends not only on sea-level rise scenarios, but also on our ability to design clever adaptation strategies that can prolong the lifetime of barrier islands such as the Wadden Islands. Many examples exist of successful coastal adaptation to sea-level rise, but … Read more
