Simple rules to minimise exposure to coseismic landslide hazard (2019)
Journal Article
Milledge, D., Densmore, A., Bellugi, D., Rosser, N., Watt, J., Li, G., & Oven, K. (2019). Simple rules to minimise exposure to coseismic landslide hazard. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 19(4), 837-856. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-19-837-2019

Landslides constitute a hazard to life and infrastructure and their risk is mitigated primarily by reducing exposure. This requires information on landslide hazard on a scale that can enable informed decisions. Such information is often unavailable t...

Use of scenario ensembles for deriving seismic risk (2018)
Journal Article
Robinson, T., Rosser, N., Densmore, A., Oven, K., Shrestha, S., & Guragain, R. (2018). Use of scenario ensembles for deriving seismic risk. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 115(41), E9532-E9541. https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1807433115

High death tolls from recent earthquakes show that seismic risk remains high globally. While there has been much focus on seismic hazard, large uncertainties associated with exposure and vulnerability have led to more limited analyses of the potentia...

Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes (2018)
Journal Article
Williams, J., Rosser, N., Kincey, M., Benjamin, J., Oven, K., Densmore, A., …Dijkstra, T. (2018). Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes. Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 18, 185-205. https://doi.org/10.5194/nhess-18-185-2018

Landslides triggered by large earthquakes in mountainous regions contribute significantly to overall earthquake losses and pose a major secondary hazard that can persist for months or years. While scientific investigations of coseismic landsliding ar... Read More about Satellite-based emergency mapping using optical imagery: experience and reflections from the 2015 Nepal earthquakes.

Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge (2015)
Journal Article

Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge. International Journal of Disaster Risk Reduction, 13, 242-247. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ijdrr.2015.05.009

Quantitative risk assessment and risk management processes are critically examined in the context of their applicability to the statistically infrequent and sometimes unforeseen events that trigger major disasters. While of value when applied at regi... Read More about Towards disaster resilience: A scenario-based approach to co-producing and integrating hazard and risk knowledge.

Climate change and health and social care: Defining future hazard, vulnerability and risk for infrastructure systems supporting older people’s health care in England (2012)
Journal Article

Applied Geography, 33, 16-24. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apgeog.2011.05.012

Health and social care systems (including the care needs of the population and infrastructures providing health and social care) are likely to be influenced by climate change, in particular by the increasing frequency and severity of weather-related...
