|Description=This paper presents a broad overview, characterisation and matrix visualisation of how a suite of 18 anthropogenic process types trigger and influence 21 natural hazards, and their associated hazard interrelationships. Anthropogenic process types are defined as being intentional, non-malicious human activities.

This paper includes the following:
(a) A description and characterisation of 18 anthropogenic process types.
(b) An analysis of interrelationships between anthropogenic processes, to understand how they may simultaneously or successively occur.
(c) An analysis of anthropogenic processes triggering natural hazards, with location-specific case studies where possible.
(d) A discussion of how anthropogenic process types catalyse or inadvertently impede hazard interrelationships.

Visualisations are used to explore (a) to (d), with the aim of enabling the systematic integration of anthropogenic processes into existing and new multi-hazard interrelationship frameworks.

This work was contextualised in a case study in [https://nhess.copernicus.org/articles/20/149/2020/ Guatemala].

|Author(s)=Joel C. Gill, Bruce D. Malamud
|Description=This paper presents a broad overview, characterisation, and matrix visualisation of the interrelationships between 21 natural hazards, drawn from six hazard groups (geophysical, hydrological, shallow Earth, atmospheric, biophysical, and space hazards). Interrelationships considered are primarily those where a primary hazard triggers or increases the probability of secondary hazards occurring.

The paper includes a suite of additional matrix visualisations which characterise these interrelationships, including (a) exploring how well we can characterise secondary hazards, given information about the primary hazard, (b) determining the spatial overlap and temporal likelihood of triggering relationships occurring, and (c) examining the relationships between primary and secondary hazard intensities for hazard interrelationships.

This work has since been adapted into a range of context-specific multi-hazard interrelationship matrices (e.g., for [https://nhess.copernicus.org/articles/20/149/2020/ Guatemala], [https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023EF004413 Istanbul], [https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1029/2023EF004413 Nairobi], and [https://nhess.copernicus.org/articles/25/353/2025/ Kathmandu]), all available in the open-access peer-review literature.

|Description=This paper describes a replicable approach for characterising interrelations between natural hazards. This characterisation is one step within a multi-hazard risk assessment. The focus of this paper is Guatemala, a context exposed to multiple, interrelating natural hazards. Diverse evidence of natural hazards and natural hazard interrelationships is used to construct matrices of hazard interrelationships for Guatemala at national and sub-national scales. Evidence types considered in this work include (a) internationally accessible literature, (b) locally accessible civil-protection bulletins, (c) field observations, (d) stakeholder interviews, and (e) a stakeholder workshop. We believe that hazard interrelationship matrices are scalable and the approach used to develop these can enhance cross-disciplinary and cross-institutional dialogue on multi-hazard interrelationships, their likelihood, and potential impacts.
|Technical Considerations=Other examples of hazard interrelationship matrices for different scales and contexts exist in the open-access, peer-reviewed literature.
