Seismic Hazard Assessment for Mainland China Based on Spatially Smoothed Seismicity and Projected Sets of Ground Motion Models
The latest version of the Chinese seismic hazard map (CSHM) (i.e., fifth-generation CSHM) was developed based on the delineated seismic source model, which is defined based on geological and seismological information but also with some subjectivities. The results of the CSHM were presented in terms …

Automated avalanche mapping with deep learning: from satellite to webcam imagery
… services such as the avalanche warning service, hazard mapping, or the installation of protection and mitigation measures for endangered zones are important tools for avalanche risk management. The efficiency of these tools depends on knowledge about past avalanche occurrences. In this thesis, …

Two-phase modelling of debris flow over composite topography: theoretical and numerical aspects
… these problems could be overcome with accurate hazard mapping, disaster prevention planning and mitigation structures (e.g. silt check dams, paved channels, weirs ...). Good and reliable mathematical and numerical models, able to accurately describe these phenomena are therefore necessary. …
