Dear colleagues (scientists, engineers and communicators),
in October (~3rd week), the Early Career Scientist representatives of the Natural Hazards division of European Geoscience Union (called NhET) will launch the EGU Natural Hazards blog online.
I will be the editor of the blog together with other scientists/friends that will equally contribute to the maintanance and development of the blog itself.
We plan to post online interviews and other elements that would open up natural hazard concepts to a very wide audience.
This is why I am writing here.
Would you be interested in being interviewed for the EGU blog? The topic needs to fit within Natural Hazards of course but as almost everything can fit in this profile, I would like to hear your ideas on the matter. How could you contribute? What topic are you familiar with and can we make the effort to discuss it keeping in mind a communicative purpose?
The NhET plans to release a post on a biweekly basis. This can be either a review of an important article (not authored by the interviewee) in a given branch of science or a discussion of the state of the art of a given scientific topic or technique.
The target length of the interview must be 500 < words < 1000.
Let me know your ideas and potential availability.
Thanks!
Dear Luigi, we just started a new project named "TRANSPOND - Transboundary Pollution after Natural Disasters: Monitoring and Information System for Radioactive Pollution", which is funded by the German Ministry of Education and Research. Our scientific work could benefit from your blog, even our working location is Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan. We could contribute to the blog, but not in the very beginning as we just started our project. Anyhow, we are interested to be updated on a regularly basis. Maybe you could distribute a newsletter. Thanks and best regards, Petra
Wildfires are a natural hazard with both a substantial local (human casualties; N budgets) and global impact (Carbon). The efforts over the decades to control the hazard seem to be ineffective in the biomes I know best, the Mediterranean and the savanna and probably beyond. A change in paradigm seems overdue. Although I have not published a lot on wildfire (attached), I have an unusual wide intercontinental field experience with wild fires that may be interesting for your audience. Reviewing for journals is one of my regular activities.

Hello Hein,
I answered yesterday but it appears that me reply was never added here. Your topic is quite stimulating. Are you interested in contributing with an interview?
My email is [email protected]
Just send me an email and we'll take it from there.
Thanks in advance for your interest and potential availability.
Regards,
Luigi Lombardo
