Apologies that Radix has been quiet over the past two weeks! We’re back on track this week with Michael Johnson from @MonashUni who will be sharing some of his exciting PhD work! 👏💪💥

Large landslide on the E6 highway near Stenungsund on the Swedish West Coast tonight. 3 injured when their cars fells in. The infrastructure disruption will be massive. I'm guessing — largest Swedish landslide since 2006, when the E6 collapsed at Småröd.
It is impressive to notice that most of the ongoing #emergencies, worldwide, are #climate-related. It's even more concerning that only the major events tend to have global resonance, while minor/localised ones might not feature in those numbers

A study we just published with @rodmenaf and @hilhorst_thea shows that the deaths due to disasters are 34% higher in armed conflict settings. We present at least 7 reasons why this happens. More reflections on this article and how it relates to the recent flood in Lybia here ⬇
