Hazard 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 کاملMeasuring Resilience to Natural Hazards: Towards Sustainable Hazard Mitigation
Measuring resilience to natural hazards is a central issue in the hazard mitigation sciences. This paper applied a confirmatory factor methodology to operationalize the biophysical, built-environment, and socioeconomic resilience dimensions for local jurisdictions in large urban metropolitan areas in South Korea. Mapping the factor scores of the dimensions revealed great spatial variations. The...
متن کاملa review of the implications of prospect theory for natural hazards and disaster planning
light is never being distributed homogeneously and it forms a gradient over biomass. the unidirectional nature of light gives rise to a vertical gradient of light intensity as a function of depth. the maximum depth of the light zone suitable for phytoplankton photosynthesis is designated as the euphotic depth. this study was designed to test the hypothesis of mixing depth of phytoplankton and i...
متن کاملInferential framework for nonstationary dynamics. I. Theory.
A general Bayesian framework is introduced for the inference of time-varying parameters in nonstationary, nonlinear, stochastic dynamical systems. Its convergence is discussed. The performance of the method is analyzed in the context of detecting signaling in a system of neurons modeled as FitzHugh-Nagumo (FHN) oscillators. It is assumed that only fast action potentials for each oscillator mixe...
