New approach to resolve the amount of Quaternary uplift and associated denudation of the mountain ranges in the Japanese Islands
Abstract Low-temperature thermochronology is a widely used tool for revealing denudation histories of mountain ranges. Although this technique has been applied mainly to continental orogens, such as the European Alps, Himalayas, and Andes, recent...

Reliability and effectiveness of early warning systems for natural hazards: Concept and application to debris flow warning
Abstract Early Warning Systems (EWS) are increasingly applied to mitigate the risks posed by natural hazards. To compare the effect of EWS with alternative risk reduction measures and to optimize their design and operation, their reliability and...

From Hydraulic Modelling to Urban Flood Risk
Abstract Urban floods cause high damages and thus mapping of flood risk is essential for protection and evacuation planning. To obtain such mapping, hydrodynamic modelling is central because it provides water depths and velocities everywhere and...
