Dear Nanco,

thank you for this important work! Indeed, airports list among some of the most critical and vulnerable infrastructure in this day and age, a prominent recent example being the international airport of Nukualofa, Tonga, being covered by ash fallout from the nearby volcanic eruption. Thus, aid and support for the tiny island nation was delayed by several days contributing to the humanitarian crisis on the ground.

Thank you & I hope many practitioners will complete this survey.

Best wishes,

Julius

Thanks Julius Riese for your supportive reaction. Some of our previous work has been published and is collected in our 'Climate Resilient Airports' project; https://www.researchgate.net/project/Climate-Resilient-Airports.

Yet, the current 'Disaster Resilient Airports' survey is not limited to climatic extremes and includes effects of volcanic activity a.o.

My best wishes for this important work. Airports are among some of the most critical and vulnerable infrastructures under the projected climate change.

I had recently conducted a similar study for the climate change vulnerability assessment of Rural roads.

I will take part in the survey.

Thanks Rakesh Kumar , much appreciated. Re. climate resilient roads, the Palgrave Handbook of Climate Resilient Societies (published last month) does include a "transport" section; https://link.springer.com/referencework/10.1007/978-3-030-42462-6
