What is interdisciplinary research? Why is it vital to the advancement of the field of hazards and disaster research? What theory, methods, and approaches are fundamental to interdisciplinary research projects and their applications? This article addresses these and other pressing questions by taking stock of recent advancements in interdisciplinary studies of hazards and disasters. It also introduces the special issue of Risk Analysis, which includes this introductory article and 25 original perspectives papers meant to highlight new trends and applications in the field. The papers were written following two National Science Foundation-supported workshops that were organized in response to the growing interest in interdisciplinary hazards and disaster research, the increasing number of interdisciplinary funding opportunities and collaborations in the field, and the need for more rigorous guidance for interdisciplinary researchers and research teams. This introductory article and the special collection are organized around the cross-cutting themes of theory, methods, approaches, interdisciplinary research projects, and applications to advance interdisciplinarity in hazards and disaster research.
什么是跨学科研究？为什么它对危险和灾害研究领域的发展至关重要？对于跨学科研究项目及其应用，哪些理论、方法和途径是基础？本文通过总结危险和灾害跨学科研究的最新进展，回答了这些问题和其他紧迫的问题。它还介绍了《风险分析》特刊，其中包括这篇介绍性文章和 25 篇原始观点论文，旨在突出该领域的新趋势和应用。这些论文是在两次由美国国家科学基金会资助的研讨会之后撰写的，这些研讨会是为了应对人们对跨学科危险和灾害研究的兴趣日益浓厚、该领域的跨学科资助机会和合作日益增多，以及对跨学科研究人员和研究团队更严格的指导的需求而组织的。本介绍性文章和特刊围绕理论、方法、途径、跨学科研究项目以及应用等跨领域主题组织，以推进危险和灾害研究中的跨学科性。
