Embedding a Geographic Information System in a Decision Support System for Landslide Hazard Monitoring

Lazzari, Marco; Salvaneschi, Paolo - In: Natural Hazards 20 (1999) 2, pp. 185-195

In this paper we present an application that exploitsa geographic information system as a front-end of acomplex information system supporting the managementof landslide hazard in Valtellina, an alpine valley inNorthern Italy. A decision support system (EYDENET, operational sinceOctober 1996),...

GIS-Based Probabilistic Mapping of Landslide Hazard Using a Three-Dimensional Deterministic Model

Xie, Mowen; Esaki, Tetsuro; Zhou, Guoyun - In: Natural Hazards 33 (2004) 2, pp. 265-282

Based on a new Geographic Information Systems (GIS) grid-basedthree-dimensional (3-D) deterministic model and taking the slopeunit as the mapping unit, this study maps landslide hazard usingthe 3-D safety factor index and failure probability. Assuming theinitial slip to be the lower part of an...

Indigenous knowledge and the near field population response during the 2007 Solomon Islands tsunami

McAdoo, Brian; Moore, Andrew; Baumwoll, Jennifer - In: Natural Hazards 48 (2009) 1, pp. 73-82

The magnitude 8.1 earthquake and subsequent tsunami killed 52 people when it hit the Solomon Islands on 2 April 2007. That number would have likely been considerably higher were it not for the appropriate reaction of the indigenous coastal populations and a helpful physical geography. Buffering...
