  • Earthquake Disasters in Latin America

    A Holistic Approach

    de Heriberta Castaños, Cinna Lomnitz ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This book is an attempt to demonstrate the analytical power of the holistic approach for understanding disasters. Six major earthquakes in Latin America are used as an example: the general idea is to place disasters in a broad social and regional context. Understanding disasters is a way of understanding the social system. The idea is to show that every major disaster is unique and different. ... Leer más

  • Geo-disaster Modeling and Analysis: An SPH-based Approach

    de Yu Huang, Zili Dai, Weijie Zhang ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Through application of the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) method, this monograph mainly focuses on large deformations and flow failure simulations of geomaterials and movement behavior, which are always involved in geo-disasters. The work covers the theoretical background, numerical techniques, code implementation issues, and many novel and interesting applications. Two-dimensional and ... Leer más

  • Natural Hazards

    State-of-the-Art at the End of the Second Millennium

    Edición de Gerassimos A. Papadopoulos, Tad S. Murty, Srinivasan Venkatesh, R. Blong ...
    This special volume contains a selection of papers that were presented as part of the Seventh International Symposium on Natural and Man-Made Hazards (HAZARDS-98), held in Chania, Crete Island, Greece, during May 1998. The Symposium attracted broad international interest because many cases of natural disaster events, such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storm surges, forest fires, etc., that occurred in ... Leer más

  • Flood Risk in the Upper Vistula Basin

    Edición de Zbigniew W. Kundzewicz, Tadeusz Niedźwiedź, Bartłomiej Wyżga, Markus Stoffel ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This pioneering book addresses the entirety of river flooding issues in the Upper Vistula Basin, where considerable flood generation potential exists. It analyses the factors influencing flood risk, investigates variations in observation records and discusses projections for the future and adaptation to changing risk. It serves the general interest in understanding the floods that cause massive ... Leer más

  • InSAR Observations of Ground Deformation

    Application to the Cascades Volcanic Arc

    de Amy Laura Parker ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    This doctoral thesis applies measurements of ground deformation from satellite radar using their potential to play a key role in understanding volcanic and magmatic processes throughout the eruption cycle. However, making these measurements is often problematic, and the processes driving ground deformation are commonly poorly understood. These problems are approached in this thesis in the context ...

    de Bill McGuire ...
    Series series Very Short Introductions;Very Short Introductions;Very Short Introductions
    Life on earth will come to an end. It's just a matter of when. Global Catastrophes: A Very Short Introduction focuses on the many potential catastrophes facing our planet and our species in the future, and looks at both the probability of these events happening and our chances of survival. Coverage extends from discussion of the likely consequences of the current global warming to the inevitable ... Leer más

  • Dynamic Tectonics and Karst

    de Stefan Shanov, Konstantin Kostov ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The karstic caves are favorable sites for tectonic events detecting, representing a conservative medium of three-dimensional framework where the tectonic deformations are well preserved. They also provide an environment conducive to dating and determining the geometrical parameters of past seismotectonic events. During the last three decades the study of dynamic tectonics and recent geodynamics in ... Leer más

  • Geographical Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazards

    Edición de Alberto Carrara, Fausto Guzzetti ...
    Series Libro 5 - Advances in Natural and Technological Hazards Research
    The 16 contributions to Geographical Information Systems in Assessing Natural Hazards report on GIS investigations into landslides, floods, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and groundwater pollution hazards. Current methods for predicting extreme events are critically discussed, the emphasis being on the intrinsic complexity of this type of operation, requiring many spatial data, long historical ...

  • Three Great Tsunamis: Lisbon (1755), Sumatra-Andaman (2004) and Japan (2011)

    de Vineet K. Gahalaut, Harsh K. Gupta ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    Tsunamis are primarily caused by earthquakes. Under favourable geological conditions, when a large earthquake occurs below the sea bed and the resultant rupture causes a vertical displacement of the ocean bed, the entire column of water above it is displaced, causing a tsunami. In the ocean, tsunamis do not reach great heights but can travel at velocities of up to 1000 km/hour. As a tsunami ... Leer más
