Tsunami impact and vulnerability in the harbour area of Tangier, Morocco

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2015
In this study, we assess tsunami impact and building vulnerability in the harbour area of Tangier – Morocco. Tsunami impact is evaluated through performing high-resolution inundation modelling.

Application of a Real-Time Tsunami Forecast System to the Disaster Response of Local Governments during a Major Tsunami Disaster

Geosciences, 2019
We applied a real-time tsunami inundation forecast system to a disaster response plan. We developed a standard operating procedure (SOP) for a tsunami disaster response based on a Plan, Do, Check, Action cycle to effectively use tsunami observation and ...

Scenario-based numerical modelling and the palaeo-historic record of tsunamis in Wallis and Futuna, Southwest Pacific [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015
We investigated the tsunami hazard in the remote French territory of Wallis and Futuna, Southwest Pacific, using the Gerris flow solver to produce numerical models of tsunami generation, propagation and inundation.

Evaluation of tsunami inundation in the plain of Martil (north Morocco): Comparison of four inundation estimation methods

Natural Hazards Research, 2023
The Alboran Basin may be subject to tsunami hazards. If such an event were to occur, it is expected that the urbanised and densely populated areas of northern Moroccan coastline would be affected.

Overtopping of Coastal Structures by Tsunami Waves

Geosciences, 2017
Following the 2011 Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami, Japanese tsunami protection guidelines stipulate that coastal defences should ensure that settlements are shielded from the coastal inundation that would result from Level 1 tsunami events (with return ...

3D Linked Subduction, Dynamic Rupture, Tsunami, and Inundation Modeling: Dynamic Effects of Supershear and Tsunami Earthquakes, Hypocenter Location, and Shallow Fault Slip

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2021
Physics-based dynamic rupture models capture the variability of earthquake slip in space and time and can account for the structural complexity inherent to subduction zones.

From Green Governance to Biodiversity Strategy: The Role of Environmentally Experienced Directors in Chinese Firms

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how directors with environmental protection (EP) backgrounds influence corporate biodiversity concern (BIO) among Chinese A‐share listed firms from 2008 to 2023. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that directors' environmental expertise shapes firms' biodiversity strategies.

Cascading Geological Hazards and Risks of the 2018 Sulawesi Indonesia Earthquake and Sensitivity Analysis of Tsunami Inundation Simulations

Frontiers in Earth Science, 2019
Multiple cascading hazards triggered by the 2018 Sulawesi, Indonesia, earthquake caused various compounding consequences. A major strike-slip fault movement with along-dip components resulted in intense ground shaking, liquefaction and lateral spreading,

Geological evidence of an unreported historical Chilean tsunami reveals more frequent inundation

Communications Earth & Environment, 2021
Assessing tsunami hazards commonly relies on historical accounts of past inundations, but such chronicles may be biased by temporal gaps due to historical circumstances. As a possible example, the lack of reports of tsunami inundation from the 1737 south-

Weather Action: A Study on the Industry Peer Effects of Corporate Climate Risk Information Disclosure

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Global climate change has elevated the strategic importance of corporate climate risk disclosure, yet the role of industry peer effects in shaping such disclosure remains underexplored. Grounded in social learning theory, this study proposes an “observation–imitation–reinforcement” framework and empirically tests it using panel data on Chinese
