Publications

The aim of the working group is to make its discussions and findings accessible to a wider audience, and to contribute to the current national and international scientific debate and natural hazard risk. For this reason, individual meetings of the working group and their respective thematic focuses have repeatedly resulted in joint publications in special editions of journals. In addition, members of the working group have been publishing jointly in the form of edited books, joint book publications, and journal articles.
