The Natural Hazards Center is happy to announce the release of An Annotated Bibliograpy of Hazards Loss Datasets by Linsi Beckman.

The publication is a companion to the Hazards Loss Dataset Catalog, a key-worded, annotated bibliographic database where natural hazards loss datasets and related literature have been collected, cataloged, and described. The bibliography, just released in PDF, is a useful quick reference and entry point for wide variety of users. The source EndNote database is being prepared for electronic distribution so that others may extend this work.

Beckman is a senior geography major from California University of Pennsylvania who recently completed an internship hosted jointly by the Natural Hazards Center and the University of Colorado's Center for Science and Technology Policy Research. She created the catalog and the related bibliography with staff guidance from both Centers.
