Abstract. The effect of urban land use on convective storms with deep and persistent rotating updrafts (supercell storms) is systematically investigated using ensembles of idealized numerical simulations. A supercell is simulated over a flat domain containing a circular city surr...

A quantitative methodology for analysing physical damage and recovery dynamics from concurrent and consecutive hazards: forensic insights from Puerto Rico

Space and time play a crucial role in multi-hazard impact assessment. When two or more natural hazards occur simultaneously or in sequence at the same location, the physical integrity of assets and infrastructures can be compromised, and the resulting damage can be greater than t...
