Fire and Rescue Service Preparedness for Natural Hazards

Fire and Materials, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Natural hazards driven by extreme weather events are expected to continue to pose a significant risk to citizens, property and the environment. Based on a series of national and international interviews with the Fire and Rescue Service (FRS), this paper presents an analysis of present practices within the FRS and FRS willingness to employ a ...

Creation of a Landslide Susceptibility Map Using Short‐Term Data From the July 2018 Heavy Rainfall in Southern Hiroshima Prefecture

Geological Journal, EarlyView.
This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Tsunamis from submarine landslides [PDF]

Geology Today, 2017
Most tsunamis are generated by earthquakes, with secondary, less frequent, mechanisms including subaerial and submarine landslides, volcanic eruptions and (extra‐terrestrial) bolide impacts. Different mechanisms generate tsunamis with different magnitudes, travel distances and impacts.

Large Submarine Landslides on Continental Slopes: Geohazards, Methane Release, and Climate Change [PDF]

Oceanography, 2014
Submarine landslides on open continental slopes can be prodigious in scale. They are an important process for global sediment fluxes, and can generate very damaging tsunamis.

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Spatiotemporal Changes and Climate Driving Factors of Compound Precipitation‐Temperature Extreme Events Across Global Land Areas

International Journal of Climatology, EarlyView.
During the period 1901–2024, the dominant proportion of compound dry‐warm extremes in annual, June–July–August (JJA), and December–January–February (DJF) occurrences was the highest among the four types of compound precipitation and temperature extremes across global land areas, accounting for 40.1%, 50.3%, and 28.0%, respectively.

Geochronological reconstruction of the Lateglacial deglaciation in the Arve Valley (Northern French Alps)

Journal of Quaternary Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The timing and spatial patterns of glaciers retreat in the Northern French Alps during the Lateglacial (19.0–11.7 ka) remain debated, reflecting discrepancies among available chronological data sets. The complex interactions between major glaciers, such as the Rhône and Arve glaciers to the north and the Isère glacier to the south, represent a

Assessment of Submarine Landslide Volume

, 2023
Abstract Submarine landslides pose major geohazards as they can destroy seafloor infrastructure such as communication cables and cause tsunamis. The volume of material displaced with the landslide is one factor that determines its hazard and is typically estimated using bathymetric and/or seismic datasets.

SUBMARINE LANDSLIDES IN THE CONTINENTAL MARGINS OF THE ARCTIC BASIN [PDF]

Bulletin of Kamchatka Regional Association «Educational-Scientific Center». Earth Sciences, 2018
A review of investigations devoted to submarine landslides of Norwegian-Barents Sea-Spitsbergen and Canadian-Alaskan continental margins is presented. The review includes general characteristics of the landslides and environments in which they are widely spread.
