Abstract. Here we present an interdisciplinary approach to developing comprehensive, systematic, and evidenced visual syntheses of potential natural-hazard interactions at regional scales (or interaction frameworks). Frameworks can help with understanding the multi-hazard environment a specific spatial extent. We explain our apply this in Guatemala, frameworks for national sub-national (southern Guatemalan Highlands) extents. The are constructed populated using five evidence types relevant...
Abstract Sustainability is a global mandate and has set agendas for regions, nations, sectors, corporations. Because of the globalized nature economy, pursuit sustainability in one place implications others.

Abstract. Here we present an interdisciplinary approach to developing comprehensive, systematic and evidenced regional interaction frameworks support multi-hazard approaches disaster risk reduction. We apply this in Guatemala, for national sub-national (Southern Highlands) spatial extents. The are constructed populated using five evidence types: (i) publications reports (internationally accessible) (93 peer-review 76 grey literature sources); (ii) (locally accessible civil protection...
Ecosystem conservation in Mesoamerica, one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, is a top priority because rapid loss native vegetation due to anthropogenic activities. Riparian forests are often only remaining preserved areas among expansive agricultural matrices. These forest remnants essential maintaining water quality, providing habitats for variety wildlife and acting as biological corridors that enable movement dispersal local species. The Acomé river located on Pacific slope...
