A hybrid model for mapping simplified seismic response via a GIS-metamodel approach [PDF]

, 2014
In earthquake-prone areas, site seismic response due to lithostratigraphic sequence plays a key role in seismic hazard assessment. A hybrid model, consisting of GIS and metamodel (model of model) procedures, was introduced aimed at estimating the 1-D ...

Thermal‐induced fracture evolution and acoustic signature of Beishan granite: Insights into tensile strength of barrier system for high‐level radioactive waste disposal

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.
The tensile strength of granite, a proposed host for nuclear waste, degrades severely above 400°C. We link this to specific microcracking patterns captured by acoustic emission, establishing a scientific basis for assessing repository safety under thermal load.

For the Few, Not the Many: Tracing the Residualist and Compensatory Nature of British Energy Support

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Drawing on extensive documentary analysis, this article traces the evolution of British energy policy support since World War II. It analyses shifts in policy design through two interpretive lenses: eligibility (residualist vs. universalist) and function (compensatory vs. preventive).

Seismic hazard assessment of the Shillong Plateau using a probabilistic approach

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2020
Seismotectonic processes of the Shillong Plateau (SP) have been influenced by the Himalayan orogeny, the India-Burmese subduction, and the Bengal Basin evolution leading to high seismic activity in the region.

Variability and uncertainty in empirical ground-motion prediction for probabilistic hazard and risk analyses [PDF]

, 2015
© The Author(s) 2015.The terms aleatory variability and epistemic uncertainty mean different things to people who routinely use them within the fields of seismic hazard and risk analysis.

The EU's Strategy for Sustainability: A Landmark Turn With the European Green Deal?

European Policy Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While the European Green Deal (EGD) has been widely recognized as a milestone in the EU's sustainability strategy, scholars disagree on the nature of the policy change it represents. Critics highlight its limited social and environmental ambitions, despite its portrayal as a “man on the moon” moment.

NEW SEISMIC SOURCE ZONE MODEL FOR PORTUGAL AND AZORES [PDF]

, 2010
The development of seismogenic source models is one of the first steps in seismic hazard assessment. In seismic hazard terminology, seismic source zones (SSZ) are polygons (or volumes) that delineate areas with homogeneous characteristics of seismicity ...
