Advanced Energy and Sustainability Research, EarlyView.Hydrogen is an energy carrier, produced from renewable and nonrenewable resources. It can be stored in a variety of materials and transported to distant locations. This article reviews progress in hydrogen technology by looking at environmental and economic impact, cost analysis, and policy support at government level as way forward for bringing it to ...

From scenario-based seismic hazard to scenario-based landslide hazard: fast-forwarding to the future via statistical simulations [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Ground motion scenarios exists for most of the seismically active areas around the globe. They essentially correspond to shaking level maps at given earthquake return times which are used as reference for the likely areas under threat from future ground displacements.

Earthquake Scenarios for the Cities of Sofia, Rousse and Vratsa [PDF]
Information & Security: An International Journal, 2009 Global seismic hazard and vulnerability to earthquakes are increasing steadily as urbanization and development occupy more areas that are prone to effects of strong earthquakes. The uncontrolled growth of mega cities in highly seismic areas around the world is often associated with the construction of seismically unsafe buildings and infrastructures ...

Dynamic Capacity Enhancement using Air Computing: An Earthquake Case [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Earthquakes are one of the most destructive natural disasters harming life and the infrastructure of cities. After an earthquake, functioning communication and computational capacity are crucial for rescue teams and healthcare of victims. Therefore, an earthquake can be investigated for dynamic capacity enhancement in which additional resources are ...

A forest-fire analogy to explain the b-value of the Gutenberg-Richter law for earthquakes [PDF]
, 2013 The Drossel-Schwabl model of forest fires can be interpreted in a coarse grained sense as a model for the stress distribution in a single planar fault. Fires in the model are then translated to earthquakes. I show that when a second class of trees that propagate fire only after some finite time is introduced in the model, secondary fires (analogous to ...
