| Session Description | The aim of this session is to provide advances in the field of analyzing and assessing natural hazards such as heavy rainfall, floods, droughts, snowfall, wind, and debris flow. This issue covers a wide range of topics such as statistical and stochastic methods for extreme event, rainfall-runoff modeling, spatio-temporal analysis of natural disasters, predicting and adapting to natural hazards, applying of advanced scientific technology, local and regional frequency analysis, risk and reliability analysis in hydro-climatology, and time series analysis. It also covers flood inundation mapping, loss and damage functions, the related DB framework for damage estimation, and so on. Natural hazards have frequently occurred throughout the world causing the damage of property and loss of life. More intensive natural disasters such as floods, droughts, snowfall, wind, and debris flow are expected to occur in future due to the change of the hydro-climatological characteristics. It is very important to explore the potential risk through understanding its mechanism for solving this issue. The various scientific approaches, which are the improved or innovative methodologies for data analysis, modeling and so on, can be considered to solve this issue. These must be very useful and helpful for alleviating the damage of natural hazards. |
