Natural Hazards

Natural Hazard Models

The following is a list of natural events and exisiting models, procedures, or works in the relative field. Please feed the list with other phenomena and resources.

Rockfall

• r.rockcone (soon in GRASS-Addon)

Rockcone implement a quick and low-cost determination of areas endangered by rockfalls following an heuristic approach: a block tarting from a source will travel down the slope and stop at the intersection point of the topography with a so called energy line drawn from the source point and making an angle φ with horizontal.

• r.sass3D (in development by the IST-SUPSI)

Avalanche

missing, existing slope instability zonation applications (Raghavan et al. 2004)

Debris Flow

r.debris

r.dfw (porting to GRASS)

Flood

r.sim.water, HydroFOSS, r.topkapi, r.water.fea, r.hydro.CASC2D

Landslide

missing, existing slope instability zonation (Ciolli and Zatelli, 2002)

Erosion

Tsunami

metodology implemented (Fedrici and Cannata 2007)

Desertification

on going
