van Natijne, A.L. (author)Landslides are a major geohazard in hilly and mountainous environments. We focus on slow-moving, deep-seated landslides that are characterized by gradual, non-catastrophic deformations of millimeters to decimeters per year and cause extensive economic damage. To assess their potential impact and for the design of mitigation solutions, a detailed...doctoral thesis 2023

de Graaf, Miranda (author), Langeveld, J.G. (author), Post, Johan (author), Carrizosa, Christian (author), Franz, Eelco (author), Izquierdo-Lara, Ray W. (author), Elsinga, Goffe (author), Heijnen, Leo (author), Medema, G.J. (author)Despite high vaccination rates in the Netherlands, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) continues to circulate. Longitudinal sewage surveillance was implemented along with the notification of cases as two parts of the surveillance pyramid to validate the use of sewage for surveillance, as an early warning tool, and to...journal article 2023

Greco, Roberto (author), Marino, Pasquale (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is increasing worldwide, owing to land use and climate changes. Although the connection between hydrology and rainfall-induced landslides might seem obvious, hydrological processes have been only marginally considered in landslide research for decades. In 2016, an advanced review paper published in...journal article 2023

Azhim Firdaus, Azhim (author)Background:<br/>Climate change is affecting Uganda through the worsening floods that happen on a yearly basis. These disasters are claiming the lives and livelihoods of local communities, which lead to more challenges such as economic consequences and forced migration. Immediately after hazards like floods strike, local communities are always...master thesis 2022

Godlewski, Gabriela (author)The combination of climate change and increased urbanization has resulted in cities with no historic flooding experience suddenly vulnerable to extreme flood events. Climate change increases the frequency and intensity of rainfalls, whereas urbanization decreases the total porous surface area, resulting in pluvial (rainwater) flooding. One such...master thesis 2022

Zaharieva, Nikoleta (author)Natural disasters can significantly disturb communication networks. There are examples of events causing massive connectivity failures in the past, such as the Great East Japan Earthquake. Network protection mechanisms have been developed to cope with the destructive power of natural disasters and mitigate their impact on connections...master thesis 2022

Otero, Malena D’Elia (author), de Abreu, Ana Elisa Silva (author), Askarinejad, A. (author), Guimarães, Marcela Penha Pereira (author), de Macedo, Eduardo Soares (author), Corsi, Alessandra Cristina (author), de Almeida, Rynaldo Zanotele Hemerly (author)Early Warning Systems (EWS) are non-structural measures for landslides disaster prevention. They are based on the detection of impending failure signals. The results of a landslide simulation experiment where accelerometers were used to identify pre-failure signals are presented in this paper. Landslide was simulated in a tilting flume filled...journal article 2022

Guo, Yanan (author), An, Shi (author), Comes, M. (author)During infectious disease outbreaks, early warning is crucial to prevent and control the further spread of the disease. While the different waves of the Covid-19 pandemic have demonstrated the need for continued compliance, little is known about the impact of warning messages and risk perception on individual behavior in public health...journal article 2022

Young, A.T. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)Rapidly expanding cities in the Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) region are at risk of flooding due to heavy rainfall, insufficient drainage capacity, a lack of preparedness and insufficient data to conduct required studies. A low regret Early Warning Systems (EWS) using rainfall thresholds is proposed as a cost-effective short-term...journal article 2021

Wever, Mark (author), Wognum, Nel (author), Shah, Munir (author), O'Leary, Niall (author), Onofrei, George (author)Systemic risks are potentially harmful events, that could severely disrupt an entire industry or economy. Examples include the bankruptcy of keystone companies and biosecurity incursions. According to the United Nations, detecting and managing systemic risk represents one of the main challenges of the 21st century. Due to increasing...conference paper 2021

van Natijne, A.L. (author), Lindenbergh, R.C. (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Nowcasting and early warning systems for landslide hazards have been implemented mostly at the slope or catchment scale. These systems are often difficult to implement at regional scale or in remote areas. Machine Learning and satellite remote sensing products offer new opportunities for both local and regional monitoring of deep-seated...journal article 2020

Marino, Pasquale (author), Peres, David J. (author), Cancelliere, Antonino (author), Greco, Roberto (author), Bogaard, T.A. (author)Empirical thresholds indicating the meteorological conditions leading to shallow landslide triggering are one of the most important components of landslide early warning systems (LEWS). Thresholds have been determined for many parts of the globe and present significant margins of improvement, especially for the high number of false alarms...journal article 2020

Scott, Fred (author)Many tropical, coral reef-lined coasts, are low-lying with elevations less than five meters above mean sea level. Climate-change-driven sea level rise, coral reef decay and changes in (storm) wave climate will lead to greater chance and impacts of wave-driven flooding, posing a heavy threat to these coastal communities. Early warning systems ...master thesis 2019

Martinović, Karlo (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author), Reale, C. (author), Mangan, Cathal (author)Rainfall thresholds express the minimum levels of rainfall that need to be reached or exceeded in order for landslides to occur in a particular area. They are a common tool in expressing the temporal portion of landslide hazard analysis. Numerous rainfall thresholds have been developed for different areas worldwide, however none of these are...journal article 2018

(author), Seneviratne, Sonia I. (author)Weather extremes have harmful impacts on communities around Lake Victoria in East Africa. Every year, intense nighttime thunderstorms cause numerous boating accidents on the lake, resulting in thousands of deaths among fishermen. Operational storm warning systems are therefore crucial. Here we complement ongoing early warning efforts based on...journal article 2017

Pearson, S.G. (author)Low-lying tropical islands are highly vulnerable to the effects of sea-level rise and climate change. Most pressing is the threat posed to their fresh water supplies by wave-induced flooding. This thesis attempts to generalize previous site-specific studies of flooding on coral atolls and apply it in a framework that can be used for early...master thesis 2016

Poelhekke, L. (author)Recent and historic events have demonstrated the European vulnerability to coastal floods. Larger and more extreme events in Asia and the Americas have shown the devastating effects that these low-frequency high-impact floods can have. This thesis contributes to the development of an Early Warning System (EWS) for marine coastal hazards. The...master thesis 2015

Scholte, K. (author), Rothkrantz, L.J.M. (author)Many services provide weather forecasts, including severe weather alerts for the marine. It proves that many ships neglect the warnings because they expect to be able to handle the bad weather conditions. In order to identify possible unsafe situations the Coast Guard needs to observe marine vessel traffic 24 hours, 7 days a week. In this paper...conference paper 2014
