AVERTISSEMENT : Le chatbot Graph n'est pas programmé pour fournir des réponses explicites ou catégoriques à vos questions. Il transforme plutôt vos questions en demandes API qui sont distribuées aux différents services informatiques officiellement administrés par l'EPFL. Son but est uniquement de collecter et de recommander des références pertinentes à des contenus que vous pouvez explorer pour vous aider à répondre à vos questions.
This thesis considers technological risks and their constitution as public problems. It supports that the main difference among risks is not to see between proved risks and uncertain risks, on the basis of the objective knowledge, but rather separates risk ...
The incidence of disasters around the world and the role of the United Nations International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (UNISDR) in relation to reducing vulnerability are reviewed, with reference to the relationship between climate change and landslid ...
The growing recognition of the need to plan institutional responses to the effects of climate change makes it essential to develop research support strategies and tools not only at global but also at regional scales. This paper analyses the feasibility and ...
Motivation Over the past 30 years, within the field of infrastructure management, as infrastructure systems have grown more complex, the level of managerial and financial oversight has increased, and the computation power has become less expensive and more ...
The paper presents first considerations about methodologies for local hazard mapping related to rockfalls. This work is being currently carried out at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology of Lausanne (EPFL), and it concerns the ESR8 research position ...
Over the past twenty years, numerous infrastructure management systems have been developed to address gradual failure modes. Unfortunately the management of sudden failure modes within large infrastructure systems (principally: natural hazard induced failu ...
A probabilistic assessment of climate change and related impacts should consider a large range of potential future climate scenarios. State-of-the-art climate models, especially coupled atmosphere-ocean general circulation models and Regional Climate Model ...
To be able to take effective and efficient decisions leading to transparent and comparable results between different risk situations, a consistent and systematic risk management process has to be followed (in this context called “integral risk management”) ...
Climate change adaptation has become to be a major issue in many tourism dependent areas around the world. While the general importance to put in place adaptation measures is widely recognized by scholars, politicians and practitioners in the field, the pl ...
