😀👋 I'm Beth, a 'crossover researcher' in geoscience, communication, and disaster risk reduction. I study how people live with natural hazards in an effort to live more sustainably on this fantastic planet. 🌋🌎 #SciComm#HazComm
And if you missed it live you can now watch it at x2 speed while you do your dishes! Feedback and thoughts are very much welcome—and encouraged. How can we improve use of scientific information for risk reduction?
Big thanks to @SZ4D1@SZ4Grads

The @SZ4Grads webinar series is back! This season will feature presentations in English & Spanish.
Today 11AMPT: Beth Bartel will discuss how understanding evacuation behavior can inform geoscience questions: Fuego volcano, Guatemala.

Personally lobbied for this sticker with my City Clerk. If there is ever a year to have an unhinged werewolf ripping its shirt off as the “I Voted” sticker…it’s 2024.
A group of us have been working to adapt our 2021 @EGU_NHESS paper (https://t.co/dz2eGBwyqx) into an open-access eLearning course.
The initial version (feedback welcome!) is now live...

It aims to help natural hazard scientists better contribute to DRR.
Terrifying when you see your home region called out in the national news for being unprepared. It’s true though, and will continue to be unless we invest in safety infrastructure.

Not all guided tours consider the true risk of your adventure. Fuego volcano, Guatemala is a case in point.

@nickgraehl That’s such a good example of competing (or in this case just multiplied) risks. The guides are subjecting themselves repeatedly to all those hazards—and both the guides and robbers are driven by financial opportunities afforded by the tourists to take on risks.
@geosmx @MoldyProton That’s partly what makes this so interesting! Would be cool to see this for classes all across the country to see how they compare. It would also be good to know where people are from. I suppose a survey of high school students would probably get at the place factor better.
