In mountainous areas, due to the unique geological and topographical conditions, and along with the impact of global climate change, extreme rainfall events often occur and induce natural disasters such as flash floods, debris flows, landslides, dammed lakes and others. These water-related natural disasters (WRNDs) frequently occur around the world, such as the July 29th 1998 debris flow and landslide dam at Capricorn Creek in Mount Meager Volcanic Complex (southern Canada), the flash flood of 20th August 2018 in Raganello Gorge (southern Italy), and the 2007 summer floods in the United Kingdom. WRNDs are more serious in Southeast Asia particularly in Southwest China, where many places suffer from such disasters in the flood season every year, such as the May 20th 2012 flash flood/debris flow among the hit area of Wenchuan earthquake, the June 24th 2017 Xinmo Catastrophic landslide in Mao county and in 2018 the two sequential landslide-dammed lake events at Jinsha River. These WRNDs not only cause heavy casualties and property losses but also destroy the ecological environment. These WRNDs are not only the concern of government managers and engineers, but also deserve more in-depth study from researchers. Formation and evolution mechanisms of WRNDs are very complicated, and influenced by several aspects, such as geological and topographical conditions, hydrometeorological conditions, geomaterial properties, rainfall history and flow condition, and others. Field and laboratory tests can help us to better understand the related mechanism behind the disasters. Theoretical and empirical models, modeling and numerical methods can provide more reasonable evaluation and forecasting results of WRNDs, but a more in-depth understanding is needed. Furthermore, for the risk control and hazard prevention and mitigation, new equipment and technologies have been developed and have achieved some progress in recent years, but the fast and effective emergency treatments for WRNDs need more attention.

Natural Disasters theme in two volumes is a component of Encyclopedia of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences in the global Encyclopedia of Life Support Systems (EOLSS), which is an integrated compendium of twenty one Encyclopedias. Natural hazards arise unexpectedly, without any discernible regularity, and leave an indelible trace in nature, sometimes for many decades to come. At present they are appreciably complicated by anthropogenic influence, lending them an adverse and often catastrophic character. The susceptibility of a society to the impact of natural disasters is conditioned by the natural environment, and the vulnerability of the society to such phenomena is historically associated with the type of the nature management. Natural disasters can be of geological and hydrometeorological origin; the specific group of such phenomena is presented by natural disasters in mountains. This volume deals with the natural disaster and covers several topics, with a myriad of issues of great relevance to our world such as: Geological Catastrophes; Climate-Related Hazards; Mountain Disasters and Snow Avalanches, which are then expanded into multiple subtopics, each as a chapter. These two volumes are aimed at the following five major target audiences: University and College Students Educators, Professional Practitioners, Research Personnel and Policy Analysts, Managers, and Decision Makers, NGOs and GOs.

The field of natural hazard research has become increasingly critical due to the intensification of global climate and environmental changes, which have led to the frequent occurrence of natural hazards. These hazards often overlap, interact, or occur in a chain reaction, resulting in significant disaster losses with wide-ranging impacts over extended periods. Major earthquakes, geological hazards, extreme meteorological events, large-scale floods, droughts, marine disasters, and forest and grassland fires are among the key factors affecting human safety and economic development worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted the need for advanced perception, intelligent early warning systems, accurate prevention strategies, and efficient rescue operations to mitigate these hazards. However, there remain significant gaps in understanding the compound and chained relationships between different types of natural hazards, necessitating further investigation and innovative approaches.

This book is the second in a two-volume monograph on the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts. Looted in 1942 from the Warring States-period Chu tomb at Zidanku, Changsha, the manuscripts date to the turn from the 4th to the 3rd centuries BCE and are the only pre-Imperial Chinese manuscripts on silk found to-date. The monograph represents the culmination of almost four decades of research by Professor Li Ling of Peking University. Volume One addresses the circumstances of the discovery of the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts and the subsequent provenance history in China and the United States. Volume Two provides the first complete transcription of the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts in their entirety together with reproductions of the original manuscripts. The transcription is accompanied by comprehensive annotations, with full paleographic and philological analysis of the texts. An English translation of the texts has been added by Professor Donald Harper. For the first time, the Zidanku Silk Manuscripts can be read as a single corpus, constituting a unique source of information that complements and goes beyond what is known from transmitted texts. The Zidanku Silk Manuscripts reveal a range of cosmological and religious ideas, and shed new light on the formation of correlative thought in the Warring States period. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ “This volume represents the continuation of the important study that Professor Li Ling devoted to the history of the discovery of the Chu manuscripts from Zidanku. It includes the photographic reproduction, transcription, and detailed study of three manuscripts and several fragments, identified thanks to the efforts spanning more than four decades by the greatest expert on hemerological texts of the Warring States period.” —Marianne Bujard Professor, École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris “This beautifully produced volume, with full color plates of all the manuscript fragments, does vivid justice to the meticulous, painstaking, and rigorous decades of masterful work that Li Ling, the world’s foremost authority on the subject, has poured into the reconstruction, decipherment, and interpretation of these important textual artifacts, much of which is brought to light here for the first time.” —Scott Cook Tan Chin Tuan Professor of Chinese Studies, National University of Singapore “The collaboration of the two most eminent experts of Chinese paleography, Li Ling in Beijing, and Donald Harper in Chicago, is again a felicitous demonstration of what Sino-American cooperation can achieve.” —Lothar Ledderose Senior Professor, Institute of East Asian Art History, Heidelberg University “This volume compiles and assesses with immaculate accuracy and critical acumen all extant relevant material that Li Ling uncovered during his over forty-year pursuit for answers in and out of China among archaeologists, historians, paleographers, and conservation scientists—a true model of interdisciplinary and international research, and an inspiration to all scholars in early China studies.” —Jenny F. So Senior Curator for Early Chinese Art (1990–2000), National Museums of Asian Art, Smithsonian Institution “Professor Li Ling’s splendid book offers to the Western public the first ever comprehensive monograph on the Chu Silk Manuscripts from Zidanku. This masterful research, to which he has devoted more than forty years, is not only a minute investigation—the most extensive of its kind on the famous manuscripts—but also a very valuable contribution to our understanding of the intellectual life of the Late Warring States period.” —Alain Thote Emeritus Professor, École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris “Complemented by high-quality color pictures, old photographs, hand facsimiles of the manuscripts, as well as an updated bibliography and a comprehensive index of the ancient graphs, this English edition should undoubtedly be regarded as the new reference edition for these excavated texts.” —Olivier Venture Professor, École Pratique des Hautes Études, Paris

This book contains papers presented at Second International Conference on Debris Flow including all aspects of Debris Flow Monitoring, Modelling, Hazard Assessment, Mitigation Measures, Case Studies and Extreme Events, Erosion, Slope Instability and Sediment Transport, held in the New Forest, UK in 2008 and organised by the Wessex Institute of Technology, with the co-sponsorship of EurAgEng (European Society of Agricultural Engineers) and CIGR (International Commission of Agricultural Engineering). Due to the increased frequency with which debris and hyper-concentrated flows occur and the impact they have on both the environment and human life, in recent years these extreme events and related processes have attracted increasing attention from research groups, land planning and management professionals The objective of the Meeting was to provide a forum for engineers, scientists and managers from laboratories, industry, government and academia to interchange knowledge and expertise in the field of dense and hyper-concentrated flows. A full understanding of these phenomena leads to a new integrated risk management approach which provides measures for preventing a hazard turning into a natural disaster.
