Abstract
To mark the twentieth anniversary of Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS), an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences, we highlight eleven key publications covering major subject areas of NHESS that stood out within the past 20 years. The selected articles represent excellent scientific contributions in the major areas of natural hazards and risks and helped NHESS to become an exceptionally strong journal representing interdisciplinary areas of natural hazards and risks. At its 20th anniversary, we are proud that NHESS is not only used by scientists to disseminate research results and innovative novel ideas but also by practitioners and decision-makers to present effective solutions and strategies for sustainable disaster risk reduction.

Summary
Embracing a holistic earth system science approach, Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences (NHESS) is an interdisciplinary and international journal dedicated to the public discussion and open-access publication of high-quality studies and original research on natural hazards and their consequences. There are ten subject areas in the journal: atmospheric, meteorological, and climatological hazards; sea, ocean, and coastal hazards; hydrological hazards; landslides and debris flow hazards; earthquake hazards; volcanic hazards; other hazards (e.g. glacial and snow hazards, karst, wildfire hazards, and medical geohazards); databases, GIS, remote sensing, early warning systems, and monitoring technologies; risk assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies, socio-economic and management aspects; and dissemination, education, outreach, and teaching. The selected article on ‘Assessment of economic flood damage’ (Merz et al, 2010) is one of the highly cited interdisciplinary articles (637 citations, based on Scopus search dated October 5, 2021), which covers multiple topics such as hydrological hazards, meteorological hazards, and risk assessment, mitigation and adaptation strategies, socioeconomic and management aspects. The papers cover all the subtopics contemplated in the division on Natural Hazards including dissemination, education, outreach and teaching
