Advanced Cyberinfrastructure for Science, Engineering, and Public Policy
Progress in many domains increasingly benefits from our ability to view the systems through a computational lens, i.e., using computational abstractions of the domains; and our ability to acquire, share, integrate, and analyze disparate types of data. These advances would not be possible without the advanced data and computational cyberinfrastructure and tools for data capture, integration, ana...
متن کاملCyberinfrastructure Tools in Engineering Education for Teleoperation Experiments
⎯ Hazard mitigation and structural dynamics have been important additions to the undergraduate civil engineering curriculum. UCIST (University Consortium on Instructional Shake Tables) has worked toward improving educational opportunities in this area for nearly 10 years. For the past 8 years, the US National Science Foundation has sponsored a cyberenvironment project referred to as the Network...
متن کاملHazard function theory for nonstationary natural hazards
Impact from natural hazards is a shared global problem that causes tremendous loss of life and property, economic cost, and damage to the environment. Increasingly, many natural processes show evidence of nonstationary behavior including wind speeds, landslides, wildfires, precipitation, streamflow, sea levels, and earthquakes. Traditional probabilistic analysis of natural hazards based on peak...
متن کاملTowards Data Warehouses for Natural Hazards
Data warehousing has emerged as an effective technique for converting data into useful information. It is an improved approach to integrate data from multiple, often very large, distributed, heterogeneous databases and other information sources. This paper examines the possibility of using data warehousing techniques in the natural hazards management framework to integrate various functional an...
متن کاملNatural hazards in Australia: heatwaves
As part of a special issue on natural hazards, this paper reviews the current state of scientific knowledge of Australian heatwaves. Over recent years, progress has been made in understanding both the causes of and changes to heatwaves. Relationships between atmospheric heatwaves and large-scale and synoptic variability have been identified, with increasing trends in heatwave intensity, frequen...
