Extreme Events
A Physical Reconstruction and Risk Assessment
Jonathan Nott
The assessment of risks posed by natural hazards such as floods,
droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis or cyclones, may not reflect the full
range or magnitude of events possible. As human populations grow,
especially in hazard-prone areas, methods for accurately assessing
natural hazard risks are becoming increasingly important. Jonathan Nott
describes the many methods used to reconstruct such hazards from natural
long-term records. He demonstrates how long-term records are essential
in gaining a realistic understanding of the variability of natural
hazards, and how short-term historical records can often misrepresent
likely risks.
