Genre: Technology & Engineering
ISBN: 9819969441

This book presents selected research papers from China Satellite Navigation Conference (CSNC) 2024, held in Jinan, China, on 22–24 May 2024. These papers discuss the technologies and applications of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and in particular the latest advances in the China BeiDou System (BDS). They are divided into 8 topics to match the corresponding sessions at CSNC 2024, which broadly covered key topics in GNSS. Readers learn about the BDS and keep abreast of the latest advances in GNSS technologies and applications.

Advances in Debris-flow Science and Practice

Advances in Debris-flow Science and Practice
Author: Matthias Jakob
Publisher: Springer Nature
Total Pages: 645
Release: 2024
Genre: Debris avalanches
ISBN: 3031486919

Zusammenfassung: This book provides a summary of the state of the art of all facets of debris-flow science and practice and is designed to be a comprehensive technical reference for practitioners and a state-of-the-art research overview for scientists. It is richly illustrated with equations, graphs, photos, and tables. The book allows students, practitioners, and regulators to get a sense of the current state of the art in this science. Currently, there are 2 to 3 papers published every week on some aspects of debris-flow science. This creates a bewildering amount of literature that cannot be captured by a single individual. This book provides a comprehensive overview of all facets to date, including initial hazard assessments, detailed quantitative risk assessments, debris-flow warning systems, debris-flow mitigation structure designs, and failures of mitigation works, as well as new topics such as climate change effects on debris flows

Natural and engineered slopes are widely distributed worldwide, including mountain slopes, highway slopes, mine slopes, reservoir dams, etc. These slopes could become unstable due to natural factors or human activities, causing catastrophic loss of life and infrastructure destruction. Therefore, these slopes require constant monitoring to provide early warning and enable mitigation. Advanced monitoring equipment, information technology, and multidisciplinary interaction theories have created new opportunities and challenges in this discipline. Recently, advanced monitoring devices, information technologies, and multidisciplinary intersection theories have contributed to the monitoring, early warning and mitigation of natural and engineered slopes. However, effective and efficient monitoring, precise early warning, low-cost and low-time-consuming remediation, and reliable risk assessment remain obstacles. This Research Topic aims to present the most recent innovative advancements and state-of-the-art natural and engineered slope monitoring, early warning, mitigation, and risk assessment.
