How can we unravel the environmental consequences of natural changes from those induced by human actions? How can we better understand the complex interaction between catastrophes and society? What is the important message and how to convey it to end-users and governments? These and other questions were at the core of our conference organized by the Research Center for Geochemical and Surficial Processes, University of Córdoba (Argentina) and the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, Brunel University (U.K.).
