Urban seismic resilience mapping: a transportation network in Istanbul, Turkey
Scientific Reports, 2022 When a seismic event occurs, transportation networks play a critical role in undertaking emergency activities such as evacuation and relief supply. Accordingly, to secure their functionality, it is essential to accurately assess their resilience.

Impact-Detection Algorithm That Uses Point Clouds as Topographic Inputs for 3D Rockfall Simulations
Geosciences, 2021 Numerous 3D rockfall simulation models use coarse gridded digital terrain model (DTM raster) as their topography input. Artificial surface roughness is often added to overcome the loss of details that occurs during the gridding process. Together with the

Quantification of climate change impact on dam failure risk under hydrological scenarios: a case study from a Spanish dam [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 Dam safety is increasingly subjected to the influence of climate change. Its impacts must be assessed through the integration of the various effects acting on each aspect, considering their interdependencies, rather than just a simple accumulation of ...

Automated terrestrial laser scanning with near-real-time change detection – monitoring of the Séchilienne landslide [PDF]
Earth Surface Dynamics, 2017 We present an automated terrestrial laser scanning (ATLS) system with automatic near-real-time change detection processing. The ATLS system was tested on the Séchilienne landslide in France for a 6-week period with data collected at 30 min intervals ...

Quantifying the effectiveness of early warning systems for natural hazards [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2016 Early warning systems (EWSs) are increasingly applied as preventive measures within an integrated risk management approach for natural hazards. At present, common standards and detailed guidelines for the evaluation of their effectiveness are lacking. To
