  • 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

    Edited by Society for Underwater Technology (SUT) ...
    Series series Earth and Environmental Science (R0)
    The concept of using flexible, reelable pipe to transport liquids, gases, and vapours is not a new one. As early as the 1940s a steel braided elastomeric pipeline was developed for the Allied Forces in order to transport fuels to support the Normandy Beacheads. In fact, the longest flexible pipeline ever constructed is likely to be that laid across the English Channel as part of 'Operation Pluto'. ... Read more
