  • Identification and Mitigation of Large Landslide Risks in Europe

    Advances in Risk Assessment

    by C. Bonnard, F. Forlati, C. Scavia ...
    Large landslides affect many mountain valleys in Europe. They are characterised by a low probability of evolution into a catastrophic event but can have very large impacts on population, infrastructures and the environment. This impact is becoming more and more pronounced due to increasing tourism and the construction of new roads and railways in m ... Read more

  • From the Corn Belt to the Gulf

    Societal and Environmental Implications of Alternative Agricultural Futures

    Edited by Donald Scavia, Joan Iverson Nassauer, Mary V. Santelmann ...
    Nutrients from farms in the Mississippi River Basin are the leading cause of the Gulf of Mexico‘s 'Dead Zone,' a 5,000 to 7,000 square mile region where declining oxygen levels are threatening the survival of marine life. From the Corn Belt to the Gulf explores how new agricultural policy can help alleviate this problem, and at the same time improve water quality overall, enhance biodiversity, ... Read more

  • Geotechnical Engineering for the Preservation of Monuments and Historic Sites III

    Edited by Renato Lancellotta, Carlo Viggiani, Alessandro Flora, Filomena de Silva, Lucia Mele ...
    The conservation of monuments and historic sites is one of the most challenging problems facing modern civilization. It involves, in inextricable patterns, factors belonging to different fields (cultural, humanistic, social, technical, economical, administrative) and the requirements of safety and use appear to be (or often are) in conflict with the respect of the integrity of the monuments. The ... Read more

  • Landslides

    Types, Mechanisms and Modeling

    Edited by John J. Clague, Douglas Stead ...
    Landslides have geological causes but can be triggered by natural processes (rainfall, snowmelt, erosion and earthquakes) or by human actions such as agriculture and construction. Research aimed at better understanding slope stability and failure has accelerated in recent years, accompanied by basic field research and numerical modeling of slope failure processes, mechanisms of debris movement, ...

  • Natural Hazard Uncertainty Assessment

    Modeling and Decision Support

    Edited by Karin Riley, Peter Webley, Matthew Thompson ...
    Series Book 223 - Geophysical Monograph Series
    Uncertainties are pervasive in natural hazards, and it is crucial to develop robust and meaningful approaches to characterize and communicate uncertainties to inform modeling efforts. In this monograph we provide a broad, cross-disciplinary overview of issues relating to uncertainties faced in natural hazard and risk assessment. We introduce some basic tenets of uncertainty analysis, discuss ... Read more

  • Environmental Design Guidelines for Low Crested Coastal Structures

    by Barbara Zanuttigh, Alberto Lamberti, Stephen J. Hawkins, Hans Falk Burcharth ...
    The effect of manmade activities is primarily local but can extend far away from the location of intervention. This underlines the importance of establishing coastal zone management plans covering large stretches of coastlines. In recent years, interest in Low Crested Structures (coastal defense structures with a low-crest) has been growing together with awareness of the sensitivity to ... Read more
