RETRACE Project: How to Enhance Resilience to Climate Risks in Pacific and Arctic Indigenous Communities?

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Risk management has evolved to analyze risks in a systemic way, integrating local knowledge with the abstract concept of resilience, which is now an imperative for vulnerable and exposed communities. However, existing decision‐support tools are mainly focused on technical‐functional aspects and, although based on rigorous and scientific ...

Probabilistic Tsunami Hazard Analysis of Inundated Buildings Following a Subaqueous Volcanic Explosion Based on the 1716 Tsunami Scenario in Taal Lake, Philippines

Geosciences, 2021
A probabilistic hazard analysis of a tsunami generated by a subaqueous volcanic explosion was performed for Taal Lake in the Philippines. The Taal volcano at Taal Lake is an active volcano on Luzon Island in the Philippines, and its eruption would ...

REPRODUCING OPERATIONAL LANDSCAPES: The Rock Mining for Indonesia's New Capital City

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Indonesia's new capital city is designed to become a green and sustainable city. In this article, we examine the (un)sustainability of the process through which the city is coming into being. Using the sociospatial theory of planetary urbanization, we trace the dialectical relationship between the new city and sites beyond it to show how ...

DEFINITION OF TSUNAMI INUNDATION LIMIT BASED ON PROBABILISTIC ANALYSIS OF TSUNAMI RUNUP AND INUNDATION DISTANCE

Coastal Engineering Proceedings
Tsunami inundation maps provide information on the extent of the inundation and flow depth, which may be used mainly for evacuation. In addition, the Chilean National Service for Disaster Prevention and Response (SENAPRED for its name in Spanish, and formerly ONEMI) has designated all areas located higher than 30 m above sea level as safe zones (Zamora

Tsunami inundation maps for Yakutat, Alaska [PDF]

, 2016
In this report we evaluate potential tsunami hazards for the southeastern Alaska community of Yakutat and numerically model the extent of inundation from tsunami waves generated by tectonic and landslide sources. We use numerical modeling of historical tsunami events at Yakutat, such as the tsunami triggered by the 1964 Great Alaska Earthquake, and the

Understanding flow characteristics from tsunami deposits at Odaka, Joban Coast, using a deep neural network (DNN) inverse model [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
The 2011 Tohoku-oki tsunami inundated the Joban coastal area in the Odaka region of the city of Minamisoma, up to 2818 m from the shoreline. In this study, the flow characteristics of the tsunami were reconstructed from deposits using the DNN (deep ...
