Preface: Estimating and predicting natural hazards and vulnerabilities in the Himalayan region
Abstract. This special issue focuses on natural hazards and risks in the Himalayan region. Nine research articles address critical gaps in research, from compiling avalanche databases to developing early warning systems for landslides and assessing flood risk and vulnerabilities in urban areas. By fostering interdisciplinary collaboration and leveraging advanced methods, the research presented in this special issue contributes to building safer and more resilient communities in the Himalayan region.
