From wildfires to hurricanes, natural disasters can destroy entire towns.
âWeâre just putting structures in harm s way, and harm s way is becoming a broader and broader area,â the Director of the Cooperative Institute for Research and Environmental Sciences at CU Boulder, Waleed Abdalati, said.
Beachfront properties, cabins in the mountains, houses below sea level all exist in potentially risky areas.
âWho doesn t want to look at the ocean? So there s a lot of development right up to the edge of the water, and over time that edge of the water is creeping inward,â Abdalati said.

A question has bothered climatologist Park Williams during the decade he’s been probing drought in the Southwest. Like other climate scientists, he knew from research papers and worldwide storm patterns that a warming atmosphere is thirstier and sops up more moisture from oceans and the land.
“But, in the Southwest, we ve seen the exact opposite happening,” said Williams, an associate professor in the University of California, Los Angeles’ geography department. “For the last 50 or so years, we ve actually seen the amount of water vapor molecules in the atmosphere decline” while temperatures have climbed about twice as fast as the global average.
