In this context, I salute the thoughtful work of Christopher Gomez, Dierdre Hart and JC Gaillard (Gomez and Hart 2013, Gaillard and Gomez 2015) on the phenomenon of the "disaster gold rush". It is obvious that much of what is written will be read by practically no one beyond the authors and perhaps a couple of referees. Gaillard, J-C.

We are now treated to the irony of long queues forming to look at pages and notebooks whose author regarded them as intensely private. DOI: 10.5194/nhess-13-2707-2013 Clayton, M.
