Scalable Scenario‐Based Regional Earthquake Risk Assessment via Gaussianized Ground‐Motion‐Damage Modeling and PPCA

ABSTRACT In scenario‐based regional risk modeling, the traditional workflow simulates spatially correlated ground motions, and subsequently samples building damage states from lognormal fragility functions. In this procedure, the dimensionality grows with the number of assets ()...

Satellite based inference for disaster induced power outages using daily nighttime light observations

Abstract Power systems are vital to society, but remain vulnerable to natural disasters that cause widespread outages. Satellite-captured nightlights offer a global opportunity to monitor electricity disruptions. Prior work has typically relied on aggregating nightlight observati...
