Natural Hazard Uncertainty Assessment
Author: Karin RileyPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1119028108
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 360
Book Description
Uncertainties are pervasive in natural hazards, and it is crucial to develop robust and meaningful approaches to characterize and communicate uncertainties to inform modeling efforts. In this monograph we provide a broad, cross-disciplinary overview of issues relating to uncertainties faced in natural hazard and risk assessment. We introduce some basic tenets of uncertainty analysis, discuss issues related to communication and decision support, and offer numerous examples of analyses and modeling approaches that vary by context and scope. Contributors include scientists from across the full breath of the natural hazard scientific community, from those in real-time analysis of natural hazards to those in the research community from academia and government. Key themes and highlights include: Substantial breadth and depth of analysis in terms of the types of natural hazards addressed, the disciplinary perspectives represented, and the number of studies included Targeted, application-centered analyses with a focus on development and use of modeling techniques to address various sources of uncertainty Emphasis on the impacts of climate change on natural hazard processes and outcomes Recommendations for cross-disciplinary and science transfer across natural hazard sciences This volume will be an excellent resource for those interested in the current work on uncertainty classification/quantification and will document common and emergent research themes to allow all to learn from each other and build a more connected but still diverse and ever growing community of scientists.

River Basin Ecohydrology in the Indian Sub-Continent
Author: Manish KumarPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0323915469
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 484
Book Description
River Basin Ecohydrology in the Indian Sub-Continent: Sustainable Strategies and Sustenance provides a multidisciplinary approach that focuses on conservation strategies, water quality management in the eco-regions, catchment management practices, estuaries, preservation of in-stream habitat populations, and natural /bioengineering techniques for the sustainable management of ecological resources in the Indian sub-continent. The book provides a unique platform for readers from branches of science and technology, including engineering sciences, agricultural sciences, biogeochemical sciences, hydrogeochemistry, toxicological sciences, social sciences, environmental policy, and governance, etc. to exchange ideas and information at multiple levels on sustainable water management, degradation of marine quality and indicators of ecological degradation. The book's contributors provide impressive and comprehensive information on different management strategies for sustainable restoration of aquatic ecological systems covering vital aspects of hydrogeochemical and geoenvironmental parameters. This book aims to provide a "platform" for scientists and environmental researchers/planners to discuss the environmental degradation, spatial heterogeneity on water quality and aquatic species, methodological approaches on sustainable management of biodiversity, etc. - Presents an extensive collection of eco-hydrological changes in the river basin driven by both nature and anthropological factors - Provides state of the art modeling, data analysis methodologies for complex socio – ecological complexity applied in the Indian Sub-Continent - Includes specific cases of ecohydrology in the river basin, especially from the Indian Sub-Continent
