Changing Coastal Weather and Extremes
Hardly any area in the whole world is undergoing such dynamical environmental and social change as the coastal regions of the world. Approximately 20% of the world’s human population live within 30 km of the sea, and nearly double that number live within the nearest 100 km of the coast (IPCC 2001). Furthermore, a big part of economic activities is going on in these areas. In the coastal environ...
متن کاملFlame Detection for Video-based Early Fire Warning Systems and 3d Visualization of Fire Propagation
Early and accurate detection and localization of flame is an essential requirement of modern early fire warning systems. Video-based systems can be used for this purpose; however, flame detection remains a challenging issue due to the fact that many natural objects have similar characteristics with fire. In this paper, we present a new algorithm for video based flame detection, which employs va...
متن کاملDesign and Development of Early Warning System for Desertification and Land Degradation
Early warning systems are key components of strategies to reduce risk. This research, by adopting a systematic approach in the management of the risk of desertification and by including previously developed models and systems, offers an integrated efficient structure in terms of early warning for the risk of desertification as a pilot system for semi-arid areas of west Golestan Province in IRAN...
متن کاملFlame Detection for Video-Based Early Fire Warning for the Protection of Cultural Heritage
Cultural heritage and archaeological sites are exposed to the risk of fire and early warning is the only way to avoid losses and damages. The use of terrestrial systems, typically based on video cameras, is currently the most promising solution for advanced automatic wildfire surveillance and monitoring. Video cameras are sensitive in visible spectra and can be used either for flame or smoke de...
متن کاملThe potential for earthquake early warning in southern California.
Earthquake mitigation efforts in the United States currently use long-term probabilistic hazard assessments and rapid post-earthquake notification to reduce the potential damage of earthquakes. Here we present the seismological design for and demonstrate the feasibility of a short-term hazard warning system. Using data from past earthquakes, we show that our Earthquake Alarm System (ElarmS) cou...
