starting to beat dog outbreak to the brink of a bail. when it feels like natural disasters are getting more ferocious more frequent scientists say there's hardly any chance to predict deadly tsunamis floods saw wildfire but up next a prominent german oceanographer tells r.t. what people can do to reduce the risks that saw interview for you next on r.t. . mr calderon thank you very much for speaking to us an artsy today did you know moscow state university you were working on a five million dollar project to establish that's a non essential mustard can you please explain how this project works at the. laboratory for the net assessment of natural risk reports mistaken was that we use existing high level scientific instrumentation models to look at.

what happens in nature at the sea storm surges sea waves you know invasion i think new thing is that we try to estimate how large the risk years which affects the infrastructure people and that is using the existing high level of expertise and packaging into a new direction towards a new student up of the local population from a distance of the question from the general society with us. and the progress has been very good we started because we didn't have so much investment at that time that i knew most of the people and so we could. do a lot of experimental computer runs on the big computers looking over the office and most of them used but now we wait for our computers to the right and which of them production runs progress has been great the opportunity to work in moscow in russia has been fairly generic so i think i think with talking to my partners to my

colleagues over the last five days from the other grounds we all take on the challenge and suggest you could build it and be like from continuous frost it's possible one of the possible up locations of this project that you're working on could perhaps help in the future forecast or even prevents natural disasters and here we look at what the russian coastal zone which ranges of the permafrost area of four hundred thousand to the more months recent. just work with office and winterize and this at sea and storm surges from the black sea to the caspian sea through the soft sea where you have to for an. extreme events possible. and if they all affect the coastline because pits where people live where the ports are where the railroads are the roads are poor isn't this developing and here is the direct assessment how. when will this happen and how large will that be and how

much will be the demolition so in planning for the governments of the authorities you can advise them how much the protection how much the preparation needs to be and what about what happened in russia last summer we witnessed a number of wildfires that took lives or dozens of people do you see that coming while the that's something we do not want to address right now but it with the evidence was that it was much for a long time much too dry the winter was not rainy and now the use of water was very strong usually is a lot of people into a lot of fresh water and then of course you have a speed area so the conditions were bad already after the late winter early spring and when that some fire started it grew out of hand and

that's one of the dangers which where this risk assessment comes in. how much do we need to be prepared in time for our of that not. five years ago. to minimize the risk to minimize the damage can't predict what's going to happen in the summer watching it i'm not an expert but i'm very much the ministry of it is us the management system ministers from boy they all prepared the philosophy try to bring into the business it's not only important to react. but to act before things happen and that's something new also you would like to introduce into russia and and then minimise the damage and the reaction of people that the fire brigades of the guy excellent that old available but it's better not to call the fire brigade because there's no fire it's just. absolutely religious and no

predicts forecasts are going to meet you wouldn't know i don't think you can for cross tsunamis you can not because you come in for costs with quakes if that will ever happen it will be a great benefit to society i don't think anybody of us will see that because of the physical is a physical thing a phenomenon tsunamis are way along the ocean waves that may be generated by with critics and that the art is true and it's possible to predict the arrival once we know there's it's generated which it always happens and. that's normally on the eleventh of march was a disaster which everybody thought the world for forty years was just might be in a different region from the preparation and not enough it's a wonderful example of preparation must be the assessment must be very thorough

and the possibilities of error must be encounter that must be taken into account and then the preparation is early and fast enough of course. in thirteen of the facts in fact the situation is getting worse and worse and many joke about sits in two thousand and twelve scenarios what is your view is really getting worse this world a sort rueful there will be a man and we might damage it i think that the perception of increasing disasters and convincing increasing to cuts catastrophes has to do with news coverage global news coverage and something happens that will be on all to the screens if you. for examples of earthquakes from long time you see in these highly seismic zones which are well known there's always a flicker around and sometimes it's in the south pacific something in the mediterranean south of the caribbean so this will happen everywhere and everywhere and people in the region know all this now the problem is that

a lot of people come into this regions as a work in the tourism industry which is a strange to the phenomena in the region and they're of course not excited but also shocked so the people that lived in the region for a long time the old fisherman knew about the dangers of the sea the new coastal habitants of the flat overlooking the sea don't know anything and are shocked at risk the dangers how do you think that climate change is connected with natural disasters i wouldn't call it connects and climate change effects before in order to kill a case is sea level of the storm in a storm patterns the precipitation patterns and that's one reason why we in our project in the military also look at the effects with keeping in mind a climate change to naru us on the this planet twenty or thirty years and one what then will change in the extreme events but their relation is there will always be

extreme events the extreme events and pattern where and when and how much will change this is important to know which we try to understand and that is changing on the climate change conditions the other effect of climate change of the impact of climate changes will cause and the number of people in the growth of the population the spend on livelihoods in the coastal zone which might be changing over twenty thirty years because of different reasons how your project is going to you are confident since there are six variations we are very much focused on the. see the. doctor can for scientific reasons because of the permafrost reason region which is changing on the climate change snarls had to be making special efforts to understand what's happening now and what happened in the past and then using computer models what will be the likelihood of extreme events in the near future

and on the climate change the nuttall's so there is a direct effect but we will still have to connect with industry connect with the ministries to offer first results how do you present the results of the research just in their thirties and what response did you get from i very very much aware of the general problems and off the impact changes in the natural systems might have on their plans on their political ambitions as the communication needs to be strengthened because at the moment for different languages i cannot talk with the politician with numbers in thirty years' time because it's far away for him and we have to learn to understand what the real currency of the agencies all the politicians all the ministers are so we can. communicate effectively and easily what is your message to the russian president is that you

are looking into it that's your perception it is a great opportunity first it was a great opportunity to say thank you. to having picked this by the russian government of the russian federation having picked this venue off outside bringing their expertise and a lot of. experience into this scheme in the form of laboratories and then trying to connect with the international community to raise the scientific standards the competitiveness of the russian science and then of course it's going to be proved. to present. what it's all what all visions and also mention what all problems are because some very good and now definite informants know you cannot hide in a transition this frost. in the universe is in the ministers at every level there are people that need to convinced to move russia has the same

problems all the countries are also there because the bigger the russian problem is that the russia. through face problems on the coast to face problems in the cold you face problems in the warm black sea and you face problems in high. places snow everything so you have a little bit of everything everywhere. and then the communication and then i think also very important is the pettiness for these austin's regional ownership so if something happens in the far east or saudi arabia i have sometimes the impression it's very far away from moscow and that sense it's thought of all if you case no charge to make sure that these things happen in the region but the effect on lauch community to extend to multiple border posts which is in the case enough in

our case to get data from other countries in the case of response to the us to participate in it unlike other countries help was russia to japan for help so this is things that need to be done and i think i'm quite sure that. well take take on board thanks very much for your time. closers that so much an. emergency it's not here you see being the hero in the financial. cost of doing so is it all worth it to secure a project need a serious briefing should it be. wild teens go mad their people suffer. because some take advantage of power that was given to them. secret some big good
