This edited volume assesses capabilities of data mining algorithms for spatial modeling of natural hazards in different countries based on a collection of essays written by experts in the field. The book is organized on different hazards including landslides, flood, forest fire, land subsidence, earthquake, and gully erosion. Chapters were peer-reviewed by recognized scholars in the field of natural hazards research. Each chapter provides an overview on the topic, methods applied, and discusses examples used. The concepts and methods are explained at a level that allows undergraduates to understand and other readers learn through examples. This edited volume is shaped and structured to provide the reader with a comprehensive overview of all covered topics. It serves as a reference for researchers from different fields including land surveying, remote sensing, cartography, GIS, geophysics, geology, natural resources, and geography. It also serves as a guide for researchers, students, organizations, and decision makers active in land use planning and hazard management.

Über den Autor / die Autorin
Hamid Reza Pourghasemi is an Assistant Professor of Watershed Management Engineering in the College of Agriculture, Shiraz University, Iran. He has a BSc (2004) in watershed management engineering from the University of Gorgan, Iran, a MSc (2008) in watershed management engineering and a PhD degree (2014) in watershed management engineering from Tarbiat Modares University, Iran. His main research interests are GIS-based spatial modelling using machine learning/data mining techniques in different fields such as landslide susceptibility and hazard, flood, gully erosion, forest fire, and groundwater. Also, Hamid Reza works on multi-criteria decision-making methods in natural resources and environment. He has published more than 70 research papers in different international journals (h-index 17).
Mauro Rossi is a Research Scientist from the “Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche” (CNR) in Roma, Italy. He is pursuing his research at the “Istituto di Ricerca per laProtezione Idrogeologica” (IRPI) in Perugia, Italy. He has diversified research interests mainly focused on mapping, modelling and forecasting of landslides, floods and erosion processes in different geo-environmental and anthropic contexts. Mauro Rossi has developed (i) new methodologies for statistical and deterministic analysis of the susceptibility and hazard posed by different geo-hydrological phenomena and for the estimation of their impacts, (ii) new approaches to the definition of rainfall thresholds for triggering Landslides, (iii) early warning systems, (iv) approaches to the design optimal models for estimating landslide susceptibility and for the assessment of social risk posed by landslides and floods. He has also developed specific software for the landslide susceptibility modelling, for the landslide magnitude modelling and for the joint modelling of landslides and erosion processes in relation to different scenarios of geomorphological, climatic, vegetation and anthropic changes, in order to adequately characterize the hill slopes and the hydrological basins dynamics. He has published more than 150 research papers in many international journals (h-index 31).
