Models for reproducing the damage scenario of the Lorca earthquake [PDF]
Bulletin of Earthquake Engineering, 2014 A damage scenario modelling is developed and compared with the damage distribution observed after the 2011 Lorca earthquake. The strong ground motion models considered include five modern ground motion prediction equations (GMPEs) amply used worldwide.

The role of spatial dependence for large-scale flood risk estimation [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2020 Flood risk assessments are typically based on scenarios which assume homogeneous return periods of flood peaks throughout the catchment. This assumption is unrealistic for real flood events and may bias risk estimates for specific return periods.
