Aims and Scope

Journal of Natural Environmental Hazards (JNEH)  is devoted to original research work on all aspects of natural hazards, including the forecasting of catastrophic events, risk management, and the nature of precursors of natural and technological hazards. Although hazards can originate in different sources and systems, such as atmospheric, hydrologic, oceanographic, volcanology, seismic, neotectonic, and environmental impacts are equally catastrophic. This warrants a close interaction between different scientific and operational disciplines, aimed at enhancing the mitigation of hazards.

Hazards of interest to the journal are included in the following sections:

Atmospheric, climatological, oceanographic, storm surges, tsunamis, floods, snow, drought, avalanches, landslides, erosion, earthquakes, volcanoes, anthropogenic and technological, hydrology and hydrogeology, geomorphology as well as risk assessment. 

The interactions between these hazards and society are also addressed in the journal and include risk governance, disaster response, and preventive actions such as spatial planning and remedial measures.
