Fire and Rescue Service Preparedness for Natural Hazards

open access: yesFire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment. Based on a series of national and international interviews with the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), this paper presents an analysis of present practices within the FRS and FRS willingness to employ a ...

Numerical modelling of time-dependent thermally induced excess pore fluid pressures in a saturated soil

open access: yes, 2019
A temperature rise in soils is usually accompanied by an increase in excess pore fluid pressure due to the differential thermal expansion coefficients of the pore fluid and the soil particles.

Cost Analysis Insights for Offshore CCS Hubs: A Case Study of the Santos Basin, Brazil

open access: yesGreenhouse Gases: Science and Technology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The reuse of decommissioned offshore platforms for geological carbon storage offers a cost‐effective and technically feasible strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in emerging economies. This study presents a comprehensive techno‐economic assessment of offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) hubs in Brazil, with a focus on the Merluza ...

Geochemistry and Geochronology of Magmatic Rocks in Southwestern and Northeastern Cambodia: Implications for the Tectonic Evolution and Metallogenesis of the Loei Fold Belt

open access: yesGeological Journal, EarlyView.
The composition of intrusive rocks suggests that the magma was likely generated in a subduction‐related setting. The arc crustal thickness in the Phnom Sro Ngam and Halo Prospects was probably < 40 km during emplacement. Zircon U–Pb age range indicates a correlation with Loei Fold Belt magmatic activity.

A methodology for the interpretation of ground conditions from borehole information. [PDF]

open access: yes, 1992
Geotechnical design requires the interpretation of the information obtained from a site investigation. One aspect of the interpretation is the identification of the ground conditions across the site, based on observations at discrete points, such as ...

Perception of Risk and Sustainability: Concept Analysis of Environmental Justice and Sustainable Development in Geological–Geotechnical Risk Assessment Approaches

open access: yes, 2019
Geological–geotechnical risks studies are a traditional approach in Earth Sciences and Engineering areas. Its main focus is understood the environmental dynamics related to risk situations and the consequences of these environmental dynamics for the well-
