Groundwater NO3 concentration and its potential health effects in Beni Moussa perimeter (Tadla plain, Morocco)
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 7 - Trang 1-11 - 2020
In this research, the concentrations of nitrates were investigated in well water sampled from the irrigated perimeter of Beni Moussa (Tadla plain, Morocco), and human health risks via ingestion and dermal pathways for individuals in different age brackets were assessed using the chronic daily intake, the dermal absorbed dose and hazard index (HI). The results showed that the groundwater NO3 conten......
Morphotectonic controls on hydro-environmental hazards in rift basins: a case study from Southern Suez Canal Province, Egypt
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 10 - Trang 1-28 - 2023
The Southern Suez Canal Province (SSCP) has recently encountered hydro-environmental hazards such as water logging and soil salinization, both of which impede the efficient land use planning. This study aims to assess the hydro-environmental threats to SSCP and identify the key factors that contribute to their occurrence. Previous research has demonstrated that the Gulf of Suez Rifting-related tec......
Lessons from April 6, 2009 L’Aquila earthquake to enhance microzoning studies in near-field urban areas
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 7 - Trang 1-15 - 2020
This study focuses on two weak points of the present procedure to carry out microzoning study in near-field areas: (1) the Ground Motion Prediction Equations (GMPEs), commonly used in the reference seismic hazard (RSH) assessment; (2) the ambient noise measurements to define the natural frequency of the near surface soils and the bedrock depth. The limitations of these approaches will be discussed......
Analyzing the 27 July 2021 rainfall-induced catastrophic landslide event in the Kutupalong Rohingya Camp in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 9 - Trang 1-10 - 2022
This article critically investigates a catastrophic rainfall-induced landslide event that occurred on 27 July 2021 in the Kutupalong Rohingya Camp (KRC) in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, from geological and geomorphological perspectives. Large-scale anthropogenic interventions mainly caused the disastrous landslide event in the KRC in addition to intense rainfall. Before the landslide occurrence, about ......
Critical evaluation of seismic activities in Africa and curtailment policies – a review
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2018
The present paper discusses the seismicity of Africa and the need for the implementation of vibration control strategies in Africa, erroneously considered as aseismic. The review catalogues information on the seismicity of Africa, attesting that virtually every region in the African continent has come under the threat of some form of seismic event. The magnitudes and intensities of these seismic a......
Coastal flood risk: improving operational response, a case study on the municipality of Leucate, Languedoc, France
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 5 - Trang 1-17 - 2018
Climate change and rising sea level will certainly lead to significant changes in the management of low-lying coastal areas in the coming decades. While the most recent studies in the field of coastal storms-related flooding are increasingly integrated, simultaneously addressing hazards and vulnerability, as well as population risk perception, there is still little work to consider the preparednes......
Characteristics and time-series monitoring by GOES-17 of volcano flume on 15 January 2022 from Tonga submarine volcanic eruptionAbstract
Background
On 15 January 2022, a submarine volcanic eruption occurred at Hunga Tonga. Time-series monitoring from the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-17) was analysed to estimate the magnitude, location, start time, and duration of the eruption and to measure the evo... ...

The Kambarata 2 blast-fill dam, Kyrgyz Republic:blast event, geophysical monitoring and dam structure modelling
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 2 - Trang 1-15 - 2015
The blast- and earth-fill dam of the Kambarata 2 hydropower station is situated in the seismically active Central Tien Shan region of the Kyrgyz Republic. More than 70% of the dam volume was produced during a blast event on December 22, 2009. In 2010–2011, dam construction was completed after earth filling on top of the blasted material and installing concrete and clay screens together with benton......
Characteristics and classification of landslide dams associated with the 2008 Wenchuan earthquake
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 4 - Trang 1-15 - 2017
Strong earthquakes are among the prime triggering factors of landslides, which may block rivers, forming landslide dams. Some of these dams may pose serious threats to people and property due to upstream inundation and downstream dam-breach flooding. Evaluating the stability and potential hazard of landslide dams is significant for the mitigation measures, but remains challenging. The 2008 Wenchua......
Can sediments play a role in river flood risk mapping? Learning from selected European examples
Geoenvironmental Disasters - Tập 10 - Trang 1-16 - 2023
Climate change and increasing anthropogenic pressure are two of the major drivers of increasing extreme events like droughts and floods. To deal with the increasing number of flooding events hitting Europe in the last few decades, around twenty years ago the European Commission started to develop ad-hoc legislation to reduce flood risk by mapping flood hazard and risk areas, such as the Directive ......
