Risk is assessed as a function of hazard and vulnerability. We categorized the study area in 14 classes for planning procedures; 7 classes defined as areas suitable for human settlement, and 7 classes defined as
(Table 1;Cioni et al., 2008). Together with the information from absolute dating and the time evolution of the volcanic activity (both at short and long time-scales), these combined datasets represent the basic source to prepare informed and reliable hazard maps and emergency plans. In the ...

due to the Tertiary subsidence of the Alpine foreland Molasse basin and the uplift of the Black Forest crystalline basement (LGRB2005). The elevation predominantly ranges from 300 to 600 m above sea level. Only in the southeastern corner of the study area, where the Middle Jurassic crops out,...
floods have caused community disruption and economic loss, increased health risks, and has claimed numerous lives8,9. With the rapid industrialization and urbanization in the entire Sabah, the insufficiency of land has led to enhanced exposure of lives and infrastructure to potential flood hazard. ...
3). These types of trees often indicate slope movement and probable slow-moving landslide activity, known as creep, a process which usually occurs over an extended period of time. Fig. 2 The location map of the Swyambhunath World Heritage site and surrounding area Full size image Fig. 3 ...
aEarthquakes, along with severe storms, volcanic activity, coastal wave attack, and wildfires, can produce slope instability leading to landslides, a major geological hazard. Landslide danger may persist while emergency personnel are attempting rescue. 地震,与剧烈风暴一起,火山运动,沿海波浪攻击和野火,可...

Assuring long-term safety regarding potential radiological hazard arising from the radioactive waste is the focus of the approach often referred to as a “safety case”. This is a structured argument, supported by evidence, intended to justify that a system is acceptably safe. It is a “...
3. Deep disposal (several hundred metres or more) is the generally preferred option for longer-lived and higher activity wastes, but may be considered for all types of waste. Such repositories for long-lived ILW are already operational (e.g. WIPP in Carlsbad, New Mexico, USA) or, for ...
