Abstract This paper presents the architecture and features of RiskScape software. is an open-source software with a flexible modelling engine for multi-hazard risk analysis. The implements modeller-defined quantification workflows as ‘model pipelines’. Model pipeline steps functions analyse hazard, exposure, vulnerability data across different spatio-temporal domains using geoprocessing spatial sampling operations. supports deterministic probabilistic quantification, several...
The 2011 eruption of Shinmoedake, Japan, deposited tephra across Miyazaki prefecture impacting both urban and rural environments. We provide an overview the impacts, management recovery a modern city, infrastructure networks diverse agricultural region following this moderate sized explosive eruption, focusing on four key sectors. Cleanup was time consuming, physically demanding costly for residents, businesses municipal authorities. sector sustained large initial impacts with smothering,...
Developing approaches to assess the impact of tephra fall agricultural and forestry systems is essential for informing effective disaster risk management strategies. Fragility functions are commonly used as vulnerability model within a loss assessment framework represent relationship between given hazard intensity measure (e.g., thickness) probability impacts occurring. Impacts represented here using an state (IS), which categorises qualitative quantitative statements into numeric scale....
Abstract. The volcanic hazard and risk science for Taranaki Mounga (Taranaki volcano) in Aotearoa / New Zealand is an advanced state, with robust probabilistic data a series of direct impact scenarios modelled the region. Here, we progress this work demonstrate method to provide information that nuanced factors such as location economic sector considers dynamic nature volcanism hazards potentially repeated over time. Recognising fundamental importance dairy region, paper provides valuable...
Probabilistic quantification of lahar hazard is an important component risk assessment and mitigation. Here we propose a new approach to probabilistic through coupling susceptibility model with shallow-layer flow model. Initial volumes their probabilities are quantified using the which establishes relationship between volume mobilised sediment exceedance from rainfall intensity-frequency-duration curves. Rainfall-triggered zones can then be delineated probabilistically by as input into...
Volcanic ash falls are one of the most widespread and frequent volcanic hazards, produced by all explosive eruptions. Ash arguably disruptive hazard because their ability to affect large areas impact a wide range assets, even at relatively small thicknesses. From an insurance perspective, valuable insured assets buildings. fall vulnerability curves or functions, which relate magnitude likely damage, developed for buildings, although there have been important recent advances agriculture...
Abstract. Lahars are volcanic flows containing a mixture of fluid and sediment which have the potential to cause significant damage buildings, critical infrastructure human life. The extent this is controlled by properties lahar, location elements at risk susceptibility these lahar. Here we focus on understanding lahar-induced building damage. Quantification can be difficult due complexity lahar behaviour (hazard), varying number type buildings exposed (exposure) uncertain impacts...
Fuji Volcano last erupted in ad 1707 depositing approximately 40 mm of tephra the area that is now central Tokyo. New high-resolution data describe 17 eruptive phases occurring over a period 16 days (Miyaji et al., J Volcanol Geotherm Res 207(3–4):113–129, 2011). Inversion techniques were used order to best replicate geological and eyewitness accounts, estimate eruption source parameters. results based on from individual suggest total mass 2.09 × 1012 kg. Comparatively, single set describing...
