... ABSTRACT In the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake and Tsunami Disaster, approximately 23 million tons of debris was estimated over wide areas caused by the tsunami damage. Quantitative estimation of tsunami debris is essential from disaster response point of view. In this study, a novel remote...

... ABSTRACT This paper reviews major typhoon-induced coastal disasters and countermeasures in Japan since 1950s and introduces some research works on their technical issues. It includes Typhoon Vera in 1959 triggering a storm surge flood and taking approximately 5,000 lives away, the development...

..., if the change of land use is based on those complex factors, it will easily bring huge impact to the environment (Hasse and Lathrop, 2003). Dilley et al. (2005) indicated that in disaster-prone areas worldwide, typhoons, flooding, landslides, and earthquakes are the most common natural hazards. The report...

... ABSTRACT In the paper, economic impacts on China's various maritime industries within two years were simulated based on the input-output model (IO model) in economics and input-output tables. As analysis, the sea ice disaster in the winter from 2009 to 2010 caused a total direct economic loss...

ABSTRACT In order to prevent and minimize damages from natural disasters, this study suggests a 3D visualization form to support ship evacuation, by application and development the geographic information system (GIS). The system has provided an aid to navigation, and the actual ship navigation...

... of the special high tide in the South Yellow Sea is concerned with the specific meteorology and the radial sand ridges, or rather the combined action. The specific high tide is simulated during a real disaster happened on April 15, 2007. Introduction The specific high tide, also called ‘co-oscillating tide...

... Abstract The sleet and snow disaster in southern China in 2008, Hurricane Katrina (2005) and Hurricane Sandy (2012) in the United States are all natural catastrophes with serious casualties, huge property losses, and large affected area. In the paper, from the perspective of comprehensive risk...

... Abstract In 2011, a tsunami caused by an earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tohoku seriously damaged many coastal structures. During events that result in flooding, many disasters are reported in which part of the coastal structures called breakwaters collapse when water flows over the crest...

... Abstract With the development of Ocean Technology, the accidents of offshore floating platforms caused by occasional disasters (such as fire, crash, explosion.) are increasing, which not only causes casualties and heavy economic losses, but also gives rise to the pollution and destruction...

... that about 90 percent of all natural disasters are extreme meteorological hazards like typhoon, hurricane and tropical cyclone which triggered disasters in the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian Oceans, Caribbean, and Gulf of Mexico areas.
