Urban Gaming Simulation for Enhancing Disaster Resilience. A Social Learning Tool for Modern Disaster Risk Management [PDF]

open access: yesTeMA: Journal of Land Use, Mobility and Environment, 2014
An emergence of the disaster resilience concept broadens the idea of urban risk management and, at the same time, enhances a theoretical aspect in a way in which we can develop our cities without making it more vulnerable to natural disasters ...

Could phenological records from Chinese poems of the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279 CE) be reliable evidence of past climate changes? [PDF]

open access: yesClimate of the Past, 2021
Phenological records in historical documents have been proven to be of unique value for reconstructing past climate changes. As a literary genre, poetry reached its peak in the Tang and Song dynasties (618–1279 CE) in China.

DiNS: Nature Disaster in Network Simulations

open access: yes2022 18th International Conference on Mobility, Sensing and Networking (MSN), 2022
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is a promising solution for disaster management because of its scalability and low cost operations. However, testing the effectiveness of WSNs in real-world disasters is time consuming, costly and in some cases even infeasible. In this paper, we propose a Disaster in Network Simulations (DiNS) framework based on OMNeT ++

Simulating Landslides for Natural Disaster Prevention [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
The simulation of landslide hazards is a key point in the prevention of natural disasters, since it enables to compute risk maps and helps to design protection works. We present a 3D simulator that handles both rock-falls and mud-flows. The terrain model is built from geological and vegetation maps, superimposed on a DEM.
