This book gathers the proceedings of the 2nd International Workshop on Natural Hazards
(NATHAZ'19), held in Lajes do Pico, Pico Island, Azores in 2019. Natural hazards constitute
the threat of a naturally occurring event having a negative effect on human beings.
These effects are often called natural disasters. Among the natural hazards and potential
disasters to be considered are: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, landslides, subsidence,
floods, droughts and coastal erosion. In addition, there are anthropogenic hazards
that occur as a result of human interactions with the environment. They include technological
hazards, which occur due to exposure to hazardous substances in the environment. Grasping
the behaviour of natural systems requires a comprehensive understanding of climatology,
geology and hydrology data and dynamics. Thus, it is important to conduct hazard and
risk assessment studies for meaningful hazard mitigation. Further, the book demonstrates
that an accurate understanding of natural systems and interactions between engineering
and natural resources is of vital significance to the entire socio-economic sector.
This volume offers an overview of natural hazards in model regions in Europe, America,
and Atlantic islands. Providing new insights on the characterisation, assessment,
protection and modelling of geological hazards, water systems, urban areas and coastal
zones, it represents a valuable resource for all researchers and practitioners in
the fields of Geosciences, Hydrology, Water Resources, Natural Hazards, Environments
and Engineering. Main topics include: 1. Natural Hazards and Disasters 2. Sustainable
Water Systems and Climate Change 3. Technological Hazards and Engineering Design
