From structural damage assessment to functionality estimation: A comprehensive modeling approach for buildings subjected to hurricane winds
… natural hazards in the United States, hurricanes pose significant risk to buildings of all types, not only causing physical damage but also disrupting their functionality. Despite the clear impact on building functionality, research on estimating the functionality loss of buildings …

Hurricane Wind Retrieval Algorithm Development For An Airborne Conical Scanning Scatterometer
… With the increase in the number of severe hurricanes making landfall in the United States, there is increased emphasis on operational monitoring of hurricane winds from aircraft. This thesis presents a data processing algorithm to provide real-time hurricane wind vector retrievals (wind …

Geographical Analysis of Offender Vulnerability: Modeling Coastal Hazards and Social Disorganization in Southern Mississippi
… inland flooding and are moderately at-risk from hurricane winds. Comparison of the SDI to area crime patterns reveal there is a slightly elevated instance of criminal activity in disorganized neighborhoods. Offender support services are available throughout the region, although a lack of public …

Hurricane-generated ocean wave propagation and impacts on a fringing reef in Hawai’i
… is a region subject to strong storm events. Hurricane Hector and Hurricane Lane, successive offshore storms, had strong winds that generated large waves and impacted the islands in the summer of 2018. This study aims to investigate the ocean surface wave response to hurricane wind forcing …

New methodologies for multi-scale time-variant reliability analysis of complex lifeline networks
… fragile to hazard, e.g. seismicity, storm surge, hurricane winds, etc., but also how they participate on a network level using network analysis. Focusing on particularly damaged components does not necessarily increase network functionality, which is most important to the people that depend on …

CLIMATE CHANGE, SHIFTS IN TROPICAL STORM REGIMES AND TRIADICA SEBIFERA INVASION IN COASTAL MISSISSIPPI, UNITED STATES
… of disturbance events (e.g., fire, drought, hurricanes, wind storms, and inundation), but the extent of these disturbance events and their impacts on natural ecosystems may vary regionally. Rising sea level, increased frequency and intensity of tropical storms, and altered inundation regimes …

An Improved Microwave Radiative Transfer Model For Ocean Emissivity At Hurricane Force Surface Wind Speed
… surface under the forcing of strong surface winds in hurricanes is being developed. This ocean emissivity model will be incorporated into a larger radiative transfer model used to infer ocean surface wind speed and rain rate in hurricanes from remotely sensed radiometric brightness …
