Tsunami Science Four Years After the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami
The tragedy of the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami has led to a rapid expansion in science directed at understanding tsunami and mitigating their hazard. A remarkable cross-section of this research was presented in the session: Tsunami Generation and Hazard, at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics XXIV General Assembly in Perugia, held in July of 2007. Over one hundred presentations were made at this session, spanning topics ranging from paleotsunami research, to nonlinear shallow-water theory, to tsunami hazard and risk assessment. A selection of this work, along with other contributions from leading tsunami scientists, is published in detail in the 28 papers of this special issue of Pure and Applied Geophysics: Tsunami Science Four Years After the Indian Ocean Tsunami. Part I of this issue includes 14 papers covering the state-of-the-art in tsunami modelling and hazard assessment. Another 14 papers are published in Part II focusing on observations and data analysis.
Securing Electronic Business Processes
Adequate information security is one of the basic requirements of all electronic business processes. It is crucial for effective solutions that the possibilities offered by security technology can be integrated with the commercial requirements of the applications. Here the positions of the experts involved are very diverse: some strive for as much security as possible, others only for as much security as is necessary. The conference ISSE (Information Security Solutions Europe) is the outstanding forum for the interdisciplinary search for sustainable compromises and for the presentation of concepts which hold up in real life. This book offers the most recent papers in the area of strategies, technologies, applications and best practice.
Hazards Research and Applications Workshop (1996)
Chapters: real world constraints to implementing hazard adjustments; trends for improving recovery and reconstruction following disasters; innovative dissemination; politics and disasters; partnerships for seismic zonation; engineering, codes, standards, and control and protection works; new directions for prediction, forecast, warning, and planning; mitigation: how to evaluate effectiveness; gender and disaster response; challenges facing health care delivery following disasters; insurance; emergency preparedness and response; and public and private partnerships for hazard mitigation and emergency management.
PREDICTIVE CORRELATES OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF NATURAL HAZARDS, ECO SYSTEM AND GLOBAL WARMING
Education is an important human activity in the modern society. The function of education is not merely to supply some amount of knowledge to the educ and; but to develop in him desirable habits, interests, attitudes and skills. Education is a never - ending process which continues throughout life.
Climate Analysis
Explains how climatologists have come to understand current climate variability and trends through analysis of observations, datasets and models.
Geodesy Beyond 2000
In this volume, the state of the art in geodesy is presented with special emphasis on the challenges of the next decade. It is subdivided into six parts. The first five parts discuss the challenges of providing a stable global reference at the parts per billion level by space methods, the impact of recently approved dedicated satellite missions on the determination of a high resolution global gravity field and its refinements by airborne gravity, advances in geodynamics and their impact on the monitoring of seismic hazards and earthquake prediction, the increasing use of GPS and INS in kinematic mode for mapping the Earth's surface and monitoring the behaviour of large man-made structures, and the related advances in mathematical theory and numerical techniques. The last part is dedicated to the discussion of a new structure for IAG to meet these challenges.
