Appraising Policies Through Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation: Lessons From a Systematic Review of Applications

open access: yesEuropean Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In response to renewed interest in analytical tools that address complex policy problems and move beyond linear‐rational approaches in policy appraisal, Social Multi‐Criteria Evaluation (SMCE) integrates participatory approaches with multi‐criteria analysis (MCA), thereby incorporating specialised knowledge and diverse social values and ...

Landslide Hazard Assessment for Wanzhou Considering the Correlation of Rainfall and Surface Deformation

open access: yesRemote Sensing
The landslide hazard assessment plays a crucial role in landslide risk mitigation and land use planning. The result of landslide hazard assessment corrected by surface deformation, obtained through time-series InSAR, has usually proven to have good ...

Landslide influence zone – a hidden hazard [PDF]

open access: yesGéotechnique, 2021
Inspired by two practical cases in Switzerland, the paper investigates a problem of elevated earth pressures downslope of existing landslides. This problem is relevant for both permanent landslides and one-time events, and of particular practical interest is the area of the stable slope just below the landslide high-pressure compression zone ...

The 2025 Kamchatka Earthquake and Tsunami: Cascading Impacts and Risks to Japan

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT On July 29th, 2025, a large earthquake (Mw 8.8) occurred near the Kamchatka Peninsula. This event caused a tsunami that reached Japan's Pacific coast, even though the source was far away. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of earthquakes and tsunamis and discuss how they relate to the recurrence possibility and risk in Japan.

A Statistical Risk Assessment Model of the Hazard Chain Induced by Landslides and Its Application to the Baige Landslide

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Landslides are usually caused by rainstorms and geological processes such as earthquakes and may have a massive impact on human production and life. The hazard chain of landslide–river blockage–outburst flood is the most common hazard chain caused by ...

Estimating Arias Intensity From Response Spectrum

open access: yesEarthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Arias intensity serves as a crucial metric to measure ground motion energy and is extensively utilized in earthquake engineering to analyze structural damage, slope instability, and the potential for soil liquefaction. Nevertheless, in many practical design scenarios, only the response spectrum is available, without corresponding information ...
