1. 1. Defining an Earthquake Intensity Based Method for a Rapid Earthquake Classification System

   University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

   Author : Erik Bäckman; [2017]
   Keywords : Ground motions; earthquake intensity; earthquake warning systems; damage prediction; classification; Markrörelser; jordbävnings-intensitet; jordbävnings-varningssystem; skadeförutsägelse; klassificering;

   Abstract : Ground motions caused by earthquakes may be strong enough to cause destruction of infrastructure and possibly casualties. If such past destructive earthquakes are analysed, the gained information could be used to develop earthquake warning systems that predicts and possibly reduce the damage potential of further earthquakes.

3. 2. Mass movements as contamination carriers in surface water systems : Swedish experiences and risks

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Geologiska institutionen

   Author : Maria Åkesson; [2010]
   Keywords : contaminant mobilisation; surface water systems; mass movements; contaminant transport; natural hazard; Viskan; Klarälven; Ångermanälven; massrörelser; skred; ytvattensystem; föroreningsspridning; naturkatastrof; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

   Abstract : Recent studies indicate a widespread but largely overlooked hazard of contaminant mobilisation and transport in connection to mass movement activity into surface water systems in Sweden. Concerns are exacerbated by predicted effects of climate change, which suggest national increases in rates of precipitation, pore water pressures, run -off, erosion and mass movement occurrence.
