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...

Transferability of a calibrated numerical model of rock avalanche run-out: application to 20 rock avalanches on the Nuussuaq Peninsula, West Greenland (2018)
Journal Article
Benjamin, J., Rosser, N., Dunning, S., Hardy, R., Kelfoun, K., & Szczuciński, W. (2018). Transferability of a calibrated numerical model of rock avalanche run-out: application to 20 rock avalanches on the Nuussuaq Peninsula, West Greenland. Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, 43(15), 3057-3073. https://doi.org/10.1002/esp.4469

Long run‐out rock avalanches are one of the most hazardous geomorphic processes, and risk assessments of the potential threat they pose are often reliant on numerical modelling of their potential run‐out distance. The development of such models requi...

Alongshore variability in wave energy transfer to coastal cliffs (2018)
Journal Article
Vann Jones, E., Rosser, N., & Brain, M. (2018). Alongshore variability in wave energy transfer to coastal cliffs. Geomorphology, 322, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geomorph.2018.08.019

The alongshore distribution of wave energy is believed to be an important control on the spatial variability of coastal erosion. There is, however, a lack of field data quantifying the alongshore variability in wave energy on rock coasts, whereby the...

Near-real-time modelling of landslide impacts to inform rapid response: an example from the 2016 Kaikoura, New Zealand, earthquake (2018)
Journal Article
Robinson, T., Rosser, N., Davies, T., Wilson, T., & Orchiston, C. (2018). Near-real-time modelling of landslide impacts to inform rapid response: an example from the 2016 Kaikoura, New Zealand, earthquake. Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, 108(3B), 1665-1682. https://doi.org/10.1785/0120170234

Reliable methods for the near‐real‐time modeling of landslide hazard and associated impacts that follow an earthquake are required to provide crucial information to guide emergency responses. After the 2016 Kaikoura earthquake in New Zealand, we unde...

Optimising 4-D surface change detection: an approach for capturing rockfall magnitude–frequency (2018)
Journal Article
Williams, J., Rosser, N., Hardy, R., Brain, M., & Afana, A. (2018). Optimising 4-D surface change detection: an approach for capturing rockfall magnitude–frequency. Earth Surface Dynamics, 6(1), 101-119. https://doi.org/10.5194/esurf-6-101-2018

We present a monitoring technique tailored to analysing change from near-continuously collected, high-resolution 3D data. Our aim is to fully characterise geomorphological change typified by an event magnitude frequency relationship that adheres to a...

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.
