Abstract
The aim of this section is to report on the current
state of environmental observations related to natural
hazards and identify the future requirements. Natural hazards can result in harm to human health
and loss of life. They can also destroy livelihoods
and cause significant environmental and economic
damage, particularly to infrastructure. Hazards include
floods, storm waves, coastal erosion, drought, heat
waves, cold weather, windstorms, wildfires, pests and
diseases, air quality, ground instability (e.g. landslides
and subsidence), ash, gas and aerosols from overseas
volcanic eruptions and space weather.
