The Analysis of the Effects of Climate Change on Geologic Natural Hazards

Climate is one of several integrated drivers of change that should be considered in understanding the vulnerability and related risk management options. Active tectonics and climate change are supposed to be key parameters in evolution of large slope movements in mountain belts. The relationship between active tectonics and rock slide development is obviously evidenced in the seismic zones. Climate change influences various environmental aspects and it can generally exacerbate geological hazards. One of the challenges faced by the scientific community comprises understanding the fundamental signals of change in the climate system and the environmental effects. This paper aims to analyze the effects of climate change on different geologic natural hazards. It is suggested to develop the adaptation strategies, challenges, and recommendations to avoid the damages. The quantification of the risks posed by climate change is possible, but there are many restrictions. The adaptation strategy can provide helpful insights to inform policy design and implementation of resilience ideas in risk management. The management index should combine and manage the pattern and process to identify geographic locations at greatest threat from climate change. Such efforts would help society to reduce risks, take advantage of opportunities and cope with changes in an integrated manner.
