Hurricane sandy: lessons learned, again.
Hurricane Sandy was a sobering reminder to those of us who call New York home that it is a port city and subject to the whims of wind and water. The storm itself was massive: climatologically, a thousand miles wide at its peak; economically, an estimated excess of $50 billion in damages. In the New York metropolitan area, 97 people died in the storm, thousands were displaced from their homes, a...
متن کاملThe Hurricane Sandy Twitter Corpus
The growing use of social media has made it a critical component of disaster response and recovery efforts. Both in terms of preparedness and response, public health officials and first responders have turned to automated tools to assist with organizing and visualizing large streams of social media. In turn, this has spurred new research into algorithms for information extraction, event detecti...
متن کاملRetweetability Analysis and Prediction during Hurricane Sandy
Twitter is a very important source for obtaining information, especially during events such as natural disasters. Users can spread information in Twitter either by crafting new posts, which are called “tweets,” or by using retweet mechanism to re-post the previously created tweets. During natural disasters, identifying how likely a tweet is to be highly retweeted is very important since it can ...
متن کاملRapid Communication Contribution of relative sea-level rise to historical hurricane flooding in New York City
Flooding during hurricanes is a hazard for New York City. Flood height is determined by storm surge characteristics, timing (high or low tide) and relative sea-level (RSL) change. The contribution from these factors is estimated for seven historical hurricanes (1788–2012) that caused flooding in New York City. Measurements from The Battery tide gauge and historical accounts are supplemented wit...
متن کاملA novel application of radionuclides for dating sediment cores from sandy, anthropogenically disturbed estuaries
Reliable sedimentation histories are difficult to obtain in sandy or anthropogenically impacted coastal systems with disturbed sediment profiles and low initial radionuclide activities. This study addresses the problem using radionuclides in sediment cores from Naples Bay estuary, Florida, USA. Non-steady sedimentation and nuclide scavenging processes are shown to limit application of tradition...
