The field of natural hazard research has become increasingly critical due to the intensification of global climate and environmental changes, which have led to the frequent occurrence of natural hazards. These hazards often overlap, interact, or occur in a chain reaction, resulting in significant disaster losses with wide-ranging impacts over extended periods. Major earthquakes, geological hazards, extreme meteorological events, large-scale floods, droughts, marine disasters, and forest and grassland fires are among the key factors affecting human safety and economic development worldwide. Recent studies have highlighted the need for advanced perception, intelligent early warning systems, accurate prevention strategies, and efficient rescue operations to mitigate these hazards. However, there remain significant gaps in understanding the compound and chained relationships between different types of natural hazards, necessitating further investigation and innovative approaches.
