Most-cited papers in Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences

Global fatal landslide occurrence from 2004 to 2016

Melanie Froude, David N. Petley · 23 Aug 2018

Abstract. Landslides are a ubiquitous hazard in terrestrial environments with slopes, incurring human fatalities in urban settlements, along transport corridors and at sites of rural industry. Assessment of landslide risk requires high-quality landslide databases. Recently, global landslide databases have shown the extent to which landslides impact on society and identified areas most at risk. Previous…

Review article "Assessment of economic flood damage"

Bruno Merz, Heidi Kreibich, Reimund Schwarze et al. · 18 Aug 2010

Abstract. Damage assessments of natural hazards supply crucial information to decision support and policy development in the fields of natural hazard management and adaptation planning to climate change. Specifically, the estimation of economic flood damage is gaining greater importance as flood risk management is becoming the dominant approach of flood control policies throughout Europe. This…

Resilience and disaster risk reduction: an etymological journey

David Alexander · 5 Nov 2013

Abstract. This paper examines the development over historical time of the meaning and uses of the term resilience. The objective is to deepen our understanding of how the term came to be adopted in disaster risk reduction and resolve some of the conflicts and controversies that have arisen when it has been used. The paper…

Landslide susceptibility estimation by random forests technique: sensitivity and scaling issues

Filippo Catani, Daniela Lagomarsino, Samuele Segoni et al. · 13 Nov 2013

Abstract. Despite the large number of recent advances and developments in landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) there is still a lack of studies focusing on specific aspects of LSM model sensitivity. For example, the influence of factors such as the survey scale of the landslide conditioning variables (LCVs), the resolution of the mapping unit (MUR) and…

Spatial prediction models for landslide hazards: review, comparison and evaluation

Alexander Brenning · 7 Nov 2005

Abstract. The predictive power of logistic regression, support vector machines and bootstrap-aggregated classification trees (bagging, double-bagging) is compared using misclassification error rates on independent test data sets. Based on a resampling approach that takes into account spatial autocorrelation, error rates for predicting "present" and "future" landslides are estimated within and outside the training area. In…
