In recent years, growing attention is paid to remote sensing when used for disaster
management applications. This is essentially due to the large variety of remotely acquired …

Purpose–The purpose of this paper is to assess the vulnerability of the Kesennuma area in
Japan to a tsunami disaster and to map the area of inundation. Design/methodology …

We present a method for determining an initial assessment of tsunami risk, with application
for two coastal areas of Oman. Using open source GIS and seismic databases we carry out a …

The marine environment is a vital resource that sustains many people and a variety of
ecosystems rich in biodiversity. However, coastal resources and human dwellings are …

Tsunami risk assessment is required to support preparedness activities and effective
disaster reduction. In this study, the analysis of physical and social vulnerability for tsunami …

Tsunami risk is a combination of the danger posed by tsunami hazard, the vulnerability of
people to an event, and the probability of destructive tsunami. The spatial multicriteria …

Geographic Information Systems (GIS), image processing in remote sensing and analytical
hierarchy process (AHP) were used to estimate and classify vulnerability and inundation …

We used a High-Resolution Assimilation Dataset of the water-energy cycle in China
(HRADC) to study the land-atmosphere interactions and meteorological characteristics in …

Tsunami is one of the world's most dangerous marine disaster. In this paper, freely available
remote sensing data are applied to study the hazard, vulnerability, and evacuation in the …

Numerical modelling of tsunami inundation enables future and past events to be simulated
and potential inundated areas to be identified. In addition, the collection of additional data …
