  • Quantitative geomorphologic analysis to evaluate flood hazards
  • Flood ; Forecast ; Italy ; Natural hazards ; Toscana ; Watershed
  • The aim of this study is to evaluate flood hazards through the use of quantitative pregeomorphic methods, which were already applied to estimate mass movement hazards and accelerated erosion hazards in some Italian areas. The study area is the Fiume
  • Ombrone drainage basin (Central Italy), where wide zones of the main valley floors have been recently flooded. In the last decade of the past century the frequency of these hazardous events has increased. Results obtained allowed the identification
  • of zones prone to flood hazard and the evaluation of their hazard index. - (NF)

  • Bibliography ; Concept ; Digital elevation model ; Geographical information system ; Landslide ; Natural hazards ; Slope
  • This paper deals with several aspects of landslide hazard assessment by presenting a focused review of GIS-based landslide hazard assessment : it starts with a framework for GIS-based assessment of landslide hazard; continues with a critical review
  • of the state of the art in using GIS and digital elevation models (DEM) for mapping and modelling landslide hazards; and concludes with a description of an integrated system for effective landslide hazard assessment and zonation incorporating artificial
  • Landslide hazard zoning using genetic programming
  • Automated mapping ; California ; Comparative study ; Discriminant analysis ; Landslide ; Model ; Natural hazards ; Thematic map ; United States of America
  • Genetic programming (GP) is presented as a technique to induce models that can be used with GIS data to map landslides hazard zones. This study explores the use of GP to discover causative or associative factors most important to landslides
  • and to induce a model for landslide hazard zoning using readily available data. The hazard maps are compared, both quantitatively and qualitatively, to a landslide-hazard map of the same area previously created by USGS (United States Geological Survey
  • Sequential analysis of China's hazards in geoscience

  • On the basis of a large number of eventful catastrophic seven major sequences with respect to the occurences and transformations in geo-hazards: 1) Dry-cold wind-drift sand (dust) storm type, 2) Warm-wet water-soil hazards type, 3) Wet-hot typhoon
  • hazards type, 4) Alpine freezing-gravity hazards type, 5) Earthquake-rainstorm and mud-rock flow type, 6) Earthquake-forest fire hazards type, 7) Earthquake-tsunami hazards type.
  • Assessment of landslide hazard
  • Alpes de Haute-Provence ; Alps (The) ; France ; Landslide ; Mass movement ; Methodology ; Natural hazards ; Slope ; Soil mechanics
  • This study focuses on the assessment of the hazard on local and regional scale of a particular type of mass movement, the landslide. The general aim is to extend the probabilistic soil mechanical approach to landslide hazard analysis. The study area
  • Geography and hazard education : some content, different agendas in Geographical education.
  • Natural hazards lie in the domain of both geography teachers and hazard managers but their ideologies and agendas may differ. If geography is to contribute to hazard mitigation, these differences must be addressed. Developments in environmental
  • Toward a policy-relevant hazard geography : critical comments on geographic natural hazard research
  • Hazard geography
  • Distribution of hazard types in a drainage basin and its relation to geomorphological setting
  • Geomorphology and natural hazards
  • Debris flow ; Inundation ; Japan ; Longitudinal section ; Natural hazards ; Sediment transport ; Slope gradient ; Stream ; Watershed
  • This paper examines first the segmentation of a river course based on the hazard types as characterized by sediment transport processes. Second, the sediment transport processes controlled by the shape of longitudinal profile of the river
  • are discussed. Third, the relationship between the shape of the longitudinal profile and the relief in the drainage basin is examined. And finally, how the distribution of relief in a drainage basin controls the distribution of hazard types is discussed.
  • Assessment and prediction of natural hazards from satellite imagery
  • Earthquake ; Fire ; Forecast ; Inundation ; Natural hazards ; Remote sensing ; Satellite imagery ; Years 2000-2009
  • First, the AA. review successfully launched satellites and advances in sensors that have become operational since 2000. Second, they review remote sensing and natural hazards case studies undertaken between 2000 and 2006. In particular
  • , they identify significant advances in the assessment and prediction of natural hazards related to the movements of eart, water, and fire. Third, they examine the current limitation of remote sensing technologies and identify future directions of natural hazards

  • Coastal environment ; Coastal erosion ; Coastal protection ; Honshu ; Human impact ; Japan ; Monsoon ; Natural hazards ; Sand ; Tropical cyclone ; Tsunami
  • Most of the coastal lowlands are now so intensively used that a large proportion of the Japanese coast has been artificially modified. Therefore, coastal countermeasures against several kinds of natural and man-induced hazards are the serious
  • problems for Japanese. In this report, the A. will introduce some typical cases of countermeasures against coastal hazards in Japan.

  • Landslide and soil loss are major hazards in mountains and hills while flooding and land subsidence in the alluvial plain and low land by the coast. The magnitude and occurrence of each kind of natural hazard are varied according to intensity
  • of process and physical geographic environment. However, the research on natural hazards have been promoted by academic institution and numerous reduction treatments such as dams, dikes have been constructed to mitigate the vulnerability to natural hazards.
