Statistical emulation of landslide-induced tsunamis at the Rockall Bank, NE Atlantic [PDF]

, 2017
Statistical methods constitute a useful approach to understand and quantify the uncertainty that governs complex tsunami mechanisms. Numerical experiments may often have a high computational cost.

Improving forest age estimation to understand subtropical forest regrowth dynamics using deep learning image segmentation of time‐series historical aerial photographs

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Accurately estimating forest age is key to understanding how forests recover and evaluating restoration success. We developed a two‐step deep learning approach using historical greyscale aerial photographs to map forest age at fine spatial scales. By combining a pre‐trained model with localized fine‐tuning, our U‐Net + ResNet50 architecture achieved ...

Improvements to a smooth particle hydrodynamics simulator for investigating submarine landslide generated waves

International Journal for Numerical Methods in Fluids, 2020
Submarine landslides can exhibit complex rheologies, including a finite yield stress and shear thinning, yet are often simulated numerically using a Newtonian fluid rheology and simplistic boundary conditions.

Submarine landslides around the Canary Islands [PDF]

Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 2001
The morphology and structure of the submarine flanks of the Canary Islands were mapped using the GLORIA long‐range side‐scan sonar system, bathymetric multibeam systems, and sediment echosounders. Twelve young (<2 Ma) giant landslides have been identified on the submarine flanks of the Canary Islands up to now. Older landslide events are long buried

Submarine landslides on the upper southeast Australian passive continental margin – preliminary findings [PDF]

, 2012
The southeast Australian passive continental margin is narrow, steep and sediment-deficient, and characterized by relatively low rates of modern sedimentation. Upper slope (\u3c1200m) sediments comprise mixtures of calcareous and terrigenous sand and mud.

Mobilising Community Engagement in Disaster Risk‐Sensitive Urban Planning: Insights From Grounded Theory and Two‐Mode Social Network Analysis

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the emphasis in sustainable development goals (SDG) 11, 13, and 17 on collaborative efforts to address climate change‐induced disaster risks through inclusive planning, stakeholders' role in fostering community engagement in risk‐sensitive urban planning (RSUP) remains underexplored.

Solving the puzzle of the 1996 Biak, Indonesia tsunami

Earth, Planets and Space
On February 17, 1996, an earthquake ( $${M}_{\text{w}}=$$ M w = 8.2) occurred northeast of Biak Island, Indonesia, and generated a tsunami. Interestingly, the tsunami runup on the southwest side of Biak Island, which did not face the epicenter, was ...

Large submarine landslides offshore Mt. Etna [PDF]

Geophysical Research Letters, 2006
High resolution seismic data, we collected in the Ionian sea, reveal large submarine landslide deposits offshore from Mt. Etna (Italy), spatially consistent with the eastern flank collapse of this volcano. A large debris‐avalanche deposit, we relate to the Valle del Bove scar, displays long offshore run‐outs (till 20 km) and a volume of a few tens of ...

Slope Instability along the northeastern Iberian and Balearic continental margins [PDF]

, 2007
This paper gathers the available information on submarine landslides identified in the northeastern Iberian continental margin and presents new data on both already known landslides and new, previously unknown ones.

Education in a Changing Climate: A Systematic Review for Low and Middle‐Income Countries (LMICs)

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Climate change is a major global challenge that affects many aspects of human life and hinders progress on the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). One area that has not received enough attention is its impact on children's education in low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs), which are especially vulnerable to ...
