Determining the utility of radio frequency identification (RFID) technology for disaster victim identification (DVI)

Journal of Forensic Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Radio frequency identification (RFID) technology was evaluated as a method for electronically tracking human remains and associated identifying information during mass fatality incidents. Conventional tags are prone to physical damage and failure, which can compromise identification processes and hinder the repatriation of bodies.

Source Model for the Tsunami Inside Palu Bay Following the 2018 Palu Earthquake, Indonesia

Geophysical Research Letters, 2019
On 28 September 2018, a strike‐slip earthquake occurred in Palu, Indonesia, and was followed by a series of tsunami waves that devastated the coast of Palu Bay.

Probabilistic Earthquake-Tsunami Multi-Hazard Analysis: Application to the Tohoku Region, Japan.

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2016
This study develops a novel simulation-based procedure for the estimation of the likelihood that seismic intensity (in terms of spectral acceleration) and tsunami inundation (in terms of wave height), at a particular location, will exceed given hazard ...

Holocene shoreline displacement and the impact of the Storegga tsunami on Hinnøya, northern Norway

Boreas, EarlyView.
The Holocene relative sea‐level (RSL) history of Norway's largest island, Hinnøya, has been investigated in detail, using sediment records from 25 isolation basins. The sediments were analysed for macrofossil and phytoplankton content, which served as the basis for identifying marine–lacustrine transitions, that is isolation contacts. Terrestrial plant

Nonlinear processes in tsunami simulations for the Peruvian coast with focus on Lima and Callao [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
This investigation addresses the tsunami inundation in Lima and Callao caused by the massive 1746 earthquake (Mw 9.0) along the Peruvian coast. Numerical modeling of the tsunami inundation processes in the nearshore includes strong nonlinear numerical ...

Numerical modeling of the 1964 Alaska tsunami in western Passage Canal and Whittier, Alaska [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
A numerical model of the wave dynamics in Passage Canal, Alaska during the <i>M</i>_w 9.2 megathrust earthquake is presented. During the earthquake, several types of waves were identified at the city of Whittier, located

Depositional processes of varved sediments from proglacial Lago Frías since 1800 CE (North Patagonian Andes, Argentina)

Boreas, EarlyView.
The glacierized Valle Frías in Northern Patagonia is one of the best‐studied valleys in South America and includes varved sediments from Lago Frías. We complement this lacustrine record with a high‐resolution documentation of varve counts and their composition.

EFFECT OF FRICTION IN TSUNAMI INUNDATION MODELING

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018
Bottom friction is an important parameter in tsunami inundation and should be included in the numerical simulations in order to reach reliable results. This study shows that smaller friction leads to larger runup values in the simulations and the runup distance of large amplitude waves is more friction sensitive.

REAL-TIME TSUNAMI INUNDATION PREDICTION USING OFFSHORE TSUNAMI OBSERVATION [PDF]

Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2011
The previous real-time tsunami prediction based on the inversion method and the linear superposition can predict the tsunami in near shore area quickly, but it can not predict the tsunami inundation. The present study developed the empirical formula to estimate the overflow rate from the tsunami profile predicted by the previous method.
