Dust storms originate in many of the world's drylands and frequently present hazards to
human society, both within the drylands themselves but also outside drylands due to long …

A dataset of killer tornadoes is compiled and analyzed spatially in order to assess region-
specific vulnerabilities in the United States from 1880 to 2005. Results reveal that most …

As lightning-detection records lengthen and the efficiency of severe weather reporting
increases, more accurate climatologies of convective hazards can be constructed. In this …

In some geographical areas of North America and Southeast Asia cities are frequently hit by
heavy windstorms capable of knocking down hundreds of urban trees and large branches in …

Background Studies on natural hazard mortality are most often hazard-specific (eg floods,

A database of fatalities caused by natural hazard processes in Switzerland was compiled for
the period between 1946 and 2015. Using information from the Swiss flood and landslide …

We present a simple theoretical land‐surface classification that can be used to determine
the location and temporal behavior of preferential sources of terrestrial dust emissions. The …

Phenomena such as cyclones, fronts and thunderstorms can cause extreme weather in
various regions throughout the world. Although these phenomena have been examined in …
