Ideally\, probabilistic hazard assessments combine available knowledge about physical mechanisms of the hazard\, data on past hazards\, and any available precursor information. Systematically assessing the probability of rare\, yet catastrophic hazards adds a layer of difficulty due to limited observational data. Via computer models\, one can exercise potentially dangerous scenarios that may not have happened in the past but are probabilistically consistent with the aleatoric nature of previous geophysical behavior in the record. \nI will discuss recent work and ongoing methodological challenges toward making efficient and flexible geophysical hazard maps focusing on applications to volcanic flows (pyroclastic density currents) and post-fire debris flows.

The Seven Bridges of Königsberg was solved in 1736\, so this absence is not due to later development of the field. Combinatorics has simply been hard to define on its own\, given that it is used as a tool in so many different areas of mathematics. \nThis talk will take the opposite point of view. We will center our focus on several research problems motivated from a combinatorial standpoint\, and the connections to other fields of research. These connections can be simple\, such as bridging different subareas of combinatorics: a study of a specific set of words uncovering unexpected properties of intervals in a lattice. Or the connections can be more odd\, connecting widely different areas of mathematics: a study of braid diagrams on k strands as a dynamical algebraic system.
