The influence of probabilistic volcanic hazard map properties on hazard communication
Probabilistic volcanic hazard analysis is becoming an increasingly popular component of volcanic risk reduction strategies worldwide. While probabilistic hazard analyses offer many advantages for decision-making, displaying the statistical results of these analyses on a map presents new hazard communication challenges. Probabilistic information is complex, difficult to interpret, and associated...
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Map on the French National Territory
Seismic hazard assessment for the construction of earthquake-resistant buildings, in particular of critical facilities, in France follows traditionally a deterministic approach. The aim of the French Working Group EPAS (Evaluation Probabiliste de l’Aléa Sismique / Probabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment), under the aegis of the AFPS (Association Française de Génie Parasismique / French Associat...
متن کاملProbabilistic Seismic Hazard Assessment of Tehran Based on Arias Intensity
A probabilistic seismic hazard assessment in terms of Arias intensity is presented for the city of Tehran. Tehran is the capital and the most populated city of Iran. From economical, political and social points of view, Tehran is the most significant city of Iran. Many destructive earthquakes happened in Iran in the last centuries. Historical references indicate that the old city of Rey and the...
متن کاملCaldera rim collapse: A hidden volcanic hazard
Following the emblematic fl ank collapse of Mount St Helens in 1981, numerous models of flank sliding have been proposed. These models have allowed to largely improve the understanding of mechanisms involved in such landslides, which represent a tremendous risk for populations living around volcanoes. In this article, a new mode of landslide formation, related to buried calderas, is described. ...
متن کاملLong-term volcanic hazard assessment on El Hierro (Canary Islands)
Long-term hazard assessment, one of the bastions of risk-mitigation programs, is required for land-use planning and for developing emergency plans. To ensure quality and representative results, long-term volcanic hazard assessment requires several sequential steps to be completed, which include the compilation of geological and volcanological information, the characterisation of past eruptions,...
