DOI: 10.1080/24694452.2016.1235494
Abstract: A coevolutionary perspective is adopted to understand the dynamics of exposure to mountain hazards in the European Alps. A spatially explicit, object-based temporal assessment of elements at risk to mountain hazards (river floods, torrential floods,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1748-9326/aa5555
Abstract: Disruptions to transportation networks by natural hazard events cause direct losses (e.g. by physical damage) and indirect socio-economic losses via travel delays and decreased transportation efficiency. The severity and spatial distribution of these losses varies… read more here.

Multiscale analysis of surface roughness for the improvement of natural hazard modelling
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences"
DOI: 10.5194/nhess-2021-85
Abstract: Abstract. Surface roughness influences the release of avalanches and the dynamics of rockfall, avalanches and debris flow, but is often not objectively implemented in natural hazard modelling. For two study areas, a treeline ecotone and… read more here.
