Call for Papers – “Physics and Chemistry of the Earth” Special issue “Disaster Risk Reduction”
Studies describing innovative methods of monitoring, modeling and simulation of natural disasters (and related methods of calibration and validation, as well as of sensitivity analyses) are solicited for a forthcoming special issue of “Physics and Chemistry of the Earth”. High-quality papers, strictly related to the topic of the special issue and containing unpublished case studies and/or methods must be directly submitted via the Journal website by 30 November 2010.

Large X-class Flare Erupts on the Sun
On Jan. 27, 2012, a large X-class flare erupted from an active region near the solar west limb. X-class flares are the most powerful of all solar events. Seen here is an image of the flare captured by the X-ray telescope on Hinode. This image shows an emission from plasma heated to greater than eight million degrees during the energy release process of the flare. Image Credit: JAXA/Hinode
