    Abstract Mountain glaciers currently exist in 18 mountainous regions of the continental part of Russia. They occupy a total area of about 3480 km2. Almost all the glaciers in these mountainous areas have receded over the past few decades. The process of glacier retreat leads to landscape change in the glacier zone and can also lead to increased risks of hazards and natural disasters. The existing research on the current state of glaciers and their changes helps us to understand the mechanisms of the changes and to improve forecasts and adaptation strategies. This article presents a review of mountain glacier change estimates in continental Russia over the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. The sources for the estimates include satellite imagery, topographic maps, field research results, and scientific publications. The results of our analysis demonstrate that changes in the main climatic factors, i.e., air temperature and precipitation, determine the general trend in glacier changes in Russia’s mountainous regions. Glacier reductions for the second part of twentieth century range from 10.6% (Kamchatka) to 69% (the Koryak Highlands). The differences in the rate and the direction of glacier changes depend on local orographic and climatic features.

    Abstract There is currently an increase in the number of heat waves occurring worldwide. Moscow experienced the effects of an extreme heat wave in 2010, which resulted in more than 10,000 extra deaths and significant economic damage. This study conducted a comprehensive assessment of the social risks existing during the occurrence of heat waves and allowed us to identify the spatial heterogeneity of the city in terms of thermal risk and the consequences for public health. Using a detailed simulation of the meteorological regime based on the COSMO-CLM regional climate model and the physiologically equivalent temperature (PET), a spatial assessment of thermal stress in the summer of 2010 was carried out. Based on statistical data, the components of social risk (vulnerabilities and adaptive capacity of the population) were calculated and mapped. We also performed an analysis of their changes in 2010-2017. A significant differentiation of the territory of Moscow has been revealed in terms of the thermal stress and vulnerability of the population to heat waves. The spatial pattern of thermal stress agrees quite well with the excess deaths observed during the period from July to August 2010. The identified negative trend of increasing vulnerability of the population has grown in most districts of Moscow. The adaptive capacity has been reduced in most of Moscow. The growth of adaptive capacity mainly affects the most prosperous areas of the city.

    Abstract This research is devoted to Tangjiashan Lake, a quake landslide-dammed lake, situated in Sichuan Province, China, which was formed by a landslide triggered by the Wenchuan Earthquake on 12 May 2008. A STREAM_2D two-dimensional hydrodynamic model of Russia was applied to simulate the process of two flood scenarios: 1, lake dam outbreak, and 2, dam overtopping. An artificial dam outbreak was made after the earthquake to lower the water level of the lake in 2008, which led to a great flood with a maximum water discharge of more than 6400 m³/s. The negative impact of the flood was reduced by a timely evacuation of the population. Flood hazards still remain in the event of new landslides into the lake and lake dam overtopping (Scenario 2), in which case a maximum water discharge at the dam crest would reach 5000 m³/s, placing the population of Shabacun and Shilingzi villages in the zone of flood impact.

    Abstract An increasing number of hazardous natural phenomena is one of the results of climate change for Russia. Risks increase in coastal areas with high concentration of hazards and high density of population and economic activity. In 2012, an integrated damage from floods was about 1 billion euros; floods had caused death of over 200 people. Particularly destructive consequences were for Krymsk in Krasnodar region. The purpose of the work is to estimate the influence of hazardous hydrological phenomena (e.g. floods, underflooding and surges) on sustainable development of coastal regions. The first stage was to estimate potential damage for population and economy of Kaliningrad and Leningrad regions (the Baltic Sea coastal zone). The authors used methodology of EMERCOM based on the model of direct (loss of life, destruction of buildings, etc.) and indirect effects (loss of profits, loss of the budget, etc.). A database of chosen indicators based on satellite images, maps, statistical yearbooks and reports of entities, was prepared. Maximum direct potential damage for both regions in 2012 was about 15.7 billion euros, but indirect damage was more than 25.5 billion euros. The damage increased with growth of economic activities without proper strengthening of protective infrastructure. Vulnerability assessment for municipal societies of Krasnodar Region (the Azov and the Black Sea coastal zone) was the second stage. A database, as a matrix of 250 parameters from 2005 to 2010 for 14 municipalities, was developed. The parameters were divided into several blocks according to UNU-EHS methodology: ?exposure? and ?vulnerability?, consisting of ?susceptibility?, ?coping capacity? and ?adaptive capacity?. Relevant indicators were selected, verified by statistical methods, and sub-indices were calculated. Areas with the highest risks are Slavyansk, Krymsk, Krasnoarmeysk and Temryuk municipal districts. Olympic Sochi has one of the lowest risks, but it is increasing. Both approaches were integrated using ?field? data (opinion ...
