npj Natural Hazards considers research examining the causes and effects of natural hazards, including seismic hazards, landslides and debris flows, volcanic hazards, coastal hazards, tsunamis, tropical cyclones and hurricanes, floods, droughts, extreme weather events, avalanche hazards, and space weather hazards.

Exploring the applications of advanced technologies in the field of geological hazards research, including hazard identification, hazard assessment, risk evaluation, and prediction and early warning.

Addressing the concept and mechanisms of systemic risk induced by natural hazards, the materials and methods for systemic risk assessment, as well as the integrated strategies and measures on tackling systemic risk.
