To frame discussions in terms of implications for hazard identification and risk assessment processes, the case studies explored the following questions: What are the precursor effects or other early biological changes linked to the case study outcome?
The identification of the geomorphic traces of the large-scale gravitational movements along fault-controlled mountain fronts has implications for hazard, particularly for the evolution of the displacement.
The proposed landscape-process partitioning has important implications for hazard mitigation given that climate change may increase sea-surface temperatures in the Gulf of California, which indirectly could increase future alluvial fan aggradation.
Nowadays, the number of such indicators easily exceeds any feasible chance of assimilating mentally all strands of evidence and inferring the implications for hazard level without the assistance of a structured procedure.
Characterization of the extent and depth of hydrothermal systems at volcanoes prone to phreatic eruptions (e.g., magnetotelluric methods) and assessment of conduit conditions represent a fruitful approach for assessing the potential of volcano-hydrothermal systems to produce type 1 or type 2 phreatic eruptions, which have distinct and different implications for hazard assessment.
The results obtained are directly applicable to landslide forecasting based on empirical rainfall thresholds, and have implications for landslide hazard and risk assessment, as well as for landslide erosion and landscape evolution studies, both in the study area and in the neighboring regions.
This result has important implications in tsunami hazard and risk assessments for coastal structures from a disaster risk reduction perspective.

Recent advances in this area have promising implications for process hazards analysis, inherently safer design, operator training and real-time fault diagnosis.
