Abstract. Recent warming has had enormous impacts on glaciers and high-mountain environments. Hazards have changed or new ones emerged, including those from glacier lakes that form as retreat. The Andes of Peru repeatedly been severely impacted by lake outburst floods in the past. An important recent event occurred Cordillera Blanca 2010 when an ice avalanche a triggered flood affected downstream communities city Carhuaz. In this study we evaluate how such complex cascades mass movement...

Abstract. Drought indices based on precipitation are commonly used to identify and characterize droughts. Due the general complexity of droughts, comparison index-identified events with droughts at different levels complete system, including soil humidity or river discharges, relies typically model simulations latter, entailing potentially significant uncertainties. The present study explores potential using precipitation-based reproduce observed in lower part Jinsha River basin (JRB),...

Background Falls from heights remain a concern in construction, particularly for foreign‐born Latino construction workers employed by small residential contractors. The social ecological model provides framework to assess the individual and contextual factors influencing risk falls. Methods Five focus groups thirteen in‐depth interviews with workers, contractors, key informants were conducted 2012 San Francisco Philadelphia. Data analyzed qualitative methods. Results Economic conditions...

In recent decades, research on mountains has become more inter- and transdisciplinary, but a greater effort is needed if such to contribute societal transformation toward sustainability. Mountain centers are crucial actor in this endeavor. Yet, the literature not paid sufficient attention how these should (re-)design transdisciplinary research. study, we explored question with self-reflexive approach. We analyzed first 15 months of Interdisciplinary Centre for Research (CIRM) University...

L'objectif prioritaire du projet de 3e Correction Rhône est d'améliorer la protection vallée contre les inondations à l'amont lac Léman. Dans ce contexte, le MINERVE vise optimizer gestion des flux hydrauliques lors fortes précipitations, en tirant profit réseau d'aménagements hydroélectriques existant sur bassin versant. Pour faire, un modèle prévisions hydrométéorologiques a été développé, assorti d'un d'aide décision pour l'exploitation préventive aménagements

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art estimation frameworks propose to address these help semicontinuous modeling and reanalysis simulated state variables. In this context, present work proposes a new method for selection conditions simulation. The is based on generating sets from matrix variables corresponding long run selected hydrological model. Two are obtained:...

During the last decades, Upper Rhone River basin has been hit by several flood events causing significant damages in excess of 500 million Swiss Francs. From this situation, 3rd river training project was planned order to improve protection Vaud and Valais Cantons. In framework, MINERVE forecast system aims contribute a better flow control during catchment area, taking advantage existing hydropower multi-reservoir network. This also fits into OWARNA national Federal Office Environment...

Abstract. In this paper, a case study on the estimations of extreme floods is described. The watershed chosen for analysis catchment Limmernboden dam situated in Switzerland. Statistical methods and simulation based "Probable Maximum Precipitation – Probable maximum Flood" (PMP-PMF) approach are applied estimation safety flood according to Swiss directives. results both approaches compared order determine discrepancies between them. It can be outlined that PMP-PMF method does not always...
