Introduction Baumgardner (1986, 1990, 1994a, 1994b) has advanced the proposition that the essential process responsible for the large-scale tectonic changes contemporaneous with the Genesis Flood was runaway subduction of the pre-Flood oceanic lithosphere. Precursory to the runaway would be some pattern of stress concentration and shear zone formation in the pre-Flood lithosphere, concentrated ...

Channel flow routing provides information on the movement of flood wave as it travels downstream. From the flood forecast viewpoint, it is desirable to have some knowledge about the expected arrival time of peak flow. However, many parameters involved in the flow routing model, in reality, can not be quantified with certainty. In this paper, a probabilistic analysis using the Mellin transform i...

Interactions between natural events and industrial installations may lead to dangerous phenomena such as: fires, explosions, or toxic dispersions. The industrial sector is often unprepared for these Natech events, increasing its vulnerability. The final purpose of this study is to help industrial facilities to decrease their vulnerability to accidents triggered by floods. In order to attain thi...
