This monograph also addresses their associated, local and worldwide socio-economic impacts. The understanding and modeling of these phenomena is critical to the development of timely worldwide strategies for the prediction of natural and anthropogenic extreme events, in order to mitigate their adverse consequences.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis monograph is unique in as much as it is dedicated to recent theoretical, numerical and empirical developments that aim to improve:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e(i) the understanding, modeling and prediction of extreme events in the geosciences, and, (ii) the quantitative evaluation of their economic consequences.
