Validation of seismic hazard curves using a calibrated 14 ka lacustrine record in the Eastern Alps, Austria [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2022 Seismic hazard maps are crucial for earthquake mitigation and mostly rely on probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA). However, the practise and value of PSHA are under debate because objective testing procedures for seismic hazard maps are scarce ...

Probabilistic seismic hazard assessment of Nepal using multiple seismic source models
Earth and Planetary Physics, 2018 The potential for devastating earthquakes in the Himalayan orogeny has long been recognized. The 2015 MW7.8 Gorkha, Nepal earthquake has heightened the likelihood that major earthquakes will occur along this orogenic belt in the future.

Variable-resolution building exposure modelling for earthquake and tsunami scenario-based risk assessment: an application case in Lima, Peru [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2021 We propose the use of variable resolution boundaries based on central Voronoi tessellations (CVTs) to spatially aggregate building exposure models for risk assessment to various natural hazards.

Scenario-based multi-risk assessment from existing single-hazard vulnerability models. An application to consecutive earthquakes and tsunamis in Lima, Peru [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2023 Multi-hazard risk assessments for building portfolios exposed to earthquake shaking followed by a tsunami are usually based on empirical vulnerability models calibrated on post-event surveys of damaged buildings.

Remote structural characterization of thousands of buildings from San Jose, Costa Rica
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2022 The present work shows the implementation of a data collection strategy for characterizing large amounts of buildings efficiently by the conduction of remote surveys on 360° panoramic images and aerial photographs. A set of 7,296 buildings from the Latin
