Download or read book Spatial Modelling and Failure Analysis of Natural and Engineering Disasters through Data-Based Methods,volume III written by Faming Huang. This book was released on 2024-09-12. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Research Topic is Volume III of a series. The previous volume can be found here: Spatial Modelling and Failure Analysis of Natural and Engineering Disasters through Data-based Methods - Volume II and Spatial Modelling and Failure Analysis of Natural and Engineering Disasters through Data-based Methods Natural and engineering disasters, which include landslides, rock fall, rainstorm, dam failure, floods, earthquakes, road and building disasters and wildfires, appear as results of the progressive or extreme evolution of climatic, tectonic and geomorphological processes and human engineering activities. It is significant to explore the failure mechanism and carry out spatial modeling of these engineering and natural disasters due to their serious harm to the safety of people's lives and property. The data-based methods, including advanced and successful remote sensing, geographic information systems, machine learning and numerical simulation techniques methods, are promising tools to analyze these complex disasters. Machine Learning models such as neurofuzzy logic, decision tree, artificial neural network, deep learning and evolutionary algorithms are characterized by their abilities to produce knowledge and discover hidden and unknown patterns and trends from large databases, whereas remote sensing and Geographic Information Systems appear as significant technology equipped with tools for data manipulation and advanced mathematical modeling. What is more, the numerical simulation can also be acknowledged as advanced technologies for discovering hidden failure mechanism of disasters. The main objective of this Research Topic is to provide a scientific forum for advancing the successful implementation of Machine Learning (ML) and numerical simulation techniques in operation rules, failure mechanism, spatial and time series prediction, susceptibility mapping, hazard assessment, vulnerability modeling, risk assessment and early warning of complex natural and engineering disasters.

Book Synopsis Modeling Spatial and Economic Impacts of Disasters by : Yasuhide Okuyama
Download or read book Modeling Spatial and Economic Impacts of Disasters written by Yasuhide Okuyama. This book was released on 2013-06-29. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is dedicated to the memory of Barclay G. Jones, Professor of City and Regional Planning and Regional Science at Cornell University. Over a decade ago, Barclay took on a fledgling area of study - economic modeling of disasters - and nurtured its early development. He served as the social science program director at the National Center for Earthquake Engineering Research (NCEER), a university consortium sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the Federal Emergency Management Agency of the United States. In this capacity, Barclay shepherded and attracted a number of regional scientists to the study of disasters. He organized a conference, held in the ill-fated World Trade Center in September 1995, on "The Economic Consequences of Earthquakes: Preparing for the Unexpected. " He persistently advocated the importance of social science research in an establishment dominated by less-than-sympathetic natural scientists and engineers. In 1993, Barclay organized the first of a series of sessions on "Measuring Regional Economic Effects of Unscheduled Events" at the North American Meetings of the Regional Science Association International (RSAI). This unusual nomenclature brought attention to the challenge that disasters -largely unanticipated, often sudden, and always disorderly - pose to the regional science modeling tradition. The sessions provided an annual forum for a growing coalition of researchers, where previously the literature had been fragmentary, scattered, and episodic. Since Barclay's unexpected passing in 1997, we have continued this effort in his tradition.

Book Synopsis Spatial Modelling of Flood Risk and Flood Hazards by : Biswajeet Pradhan
Download or read book Spatial Modelling of Flood Risk and Flood Hazards written by Biswajeet Pradhan. This book was released on 2022-04-06. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Floods and flash floods with hydro-meteorological and tropical cyclones are the some of the most devastating natural disasters causing massive damages to natural and man-made features. Flood hazards are a major threat to human life, properties (agricultural area, yield production, building and homes) and infrastructures (bridges, roads, railways, urban infrastructures, etc). Flood hazards susceptibility mapping (risk assessment) and modelling is an essential step for early warning systems, emergency services, prevention and mitigation of future environmental and social hazards and implementation of risk management strategies. Due to the lack of proper information, technology-based policies and strategies, mapping and modelling can often not be implemented to the best possible level. Geo-spatial techniques have enjoyed rising interest in recent decades among the earth environmental and social sciences research communities for their powerful ability to solve and understand various complex problems and develop novel approaches toward sustainable earth and human society. By linking geo-spatial computational intelligence techniques with societal and environmental-oriented problems, this book demonstrates geospatial technology approaches to data mining techniques, data analysis, modelling, risk assessment and visualization and management strategies in different aspects of flood hazards. We believe that a diverse group of academics, scientists, geographers, hydrologist, remote sensing and GIS expertise, environmentalists, meteorologists and computing experts with a common interest in geospatial sciences within the earth environmental sciences and humanistic and social sciences will find this book to be of great value.
