SUMMARY:International Conference on Natural Hazards and Risks
LOCATION:Potsdam\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:The conference will be held at the University of Potsdam, Germany, on 4th a
 nd 5th October 2018. The purpose of this conference is to bring together re
 searchers from natural sciences (e.g. hydrology, meteorology, geomorphology
 , hydraulic engineering, environmental science, seismology, geography), ris
 k research, nonlinear systems dynamics, and applied mathematics to discuss 
 new insights and developments about data science, changing systems, multi-h
 azard events and the linkage between hazard and vulnerabilities under unsta
 ble environmental conditions. Knowledge transfer, communication and network
 ing will be key issues of the conference. The conference will be organized 
 by means of invited talks given by outstanding experts, oral presentations,
  poster sessions and discussions.\nAlready confirmed speakers are: \n1) Pro
 f. Dr. Matthias Holschneider (University of Potsdam, Institute of Mathemati
 cs): Data Science \n2) Prof. Dr. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber (Potsdam Institu
 te for Climate Impact Research (PIK) Potsdam): Changing Systems \n3) Prof. 
 Dr. Jakob Rhyner (United Nations University, Institute for Environment and 
 Human Security): Cascade and Multi-Hazard \n4) Prof. Dr. Jeroen Aerts (VU A
 msterdam, Institute for Environmental Studies): Linking Hazard and Vulnerab
 ility\nPlease submit your abstract of 300-500 words, including title, autho
 r‘s name, and affiliation by 31st May 2018 via the link:\nhttp://www.j-work
