Flood insurance arrangements in the European Union for future flood risk under climate and socioeconomic change

Flood risk will increase in many areas around the world due to climate change and increase in economic exposure. This implies that adequate flood insurance schemes are needed to adapt to increasing flood risk and to minimise welfare losses for households in flood-prone areas. Flood insurance markets may need reform to offer sufficient and affordable financial protection and incentives for risk reduction. Here, we present the results of a study that aims to evaluate the ability of flood insurance arrangements in Europe to cope with trends in flood risk, using criteria that encompass common elements of the policy debate on flood insurance reform. We show that the average risk-based flood insurance premium could double between 2015 and 2055 in the absence of more risk reduction by households exposed to flooding. We show that part of the expected future increase in flood risk could be limited by flood insurance mechanisms that better incentivise risk reduction by policyholders, which lowers vulnerability. The affordability of flood insurance can be improved by introducing the key features of public-private partnerships (PPPs), which include public reinsurance, limited premium cross-subsidisation between low- and high-risk households, and incentives for policyholder-level risk reduction. These findings were evaluated in a comprehensive sensitivity analysis and support ongoing reforms in Europe and abroad that move towards risk-based premiums and link insurance with risk reduction, strengthen purchase requirements, and engage in multi-stakeholder partnerships.

基于数据增广训练的深度神经网络方法压制地震多次波

地震数据中存在的多次波影响偏移成像,误导地震资料的解释,因此通常视为相干噪声而被去除.为了对多次波进行智能化衰减,本文提出了一种基于数据增广训练的使用深度神经网络的多次波压制方法.设计的深度神经网络包括卷积编码和卷积解码过程,其中卷积编码过程学习全波场数据中的一次波特征,卷积解码过程利用这些特征来重构一次波并压制多次波和随机噪声.在训练阶段,旋转训练集并在输入数据中加入随机噪声构成增广训练数据集来提升神经网络的抗噪稳定性和泛化性,通过迁移学习让深度神经网络具备跨工区压制多次波的能力.简单模型与Sigsbee2B模型三套模拟数据的实例验证了本文方法在一次波重构和多次波压制中的有效性、稳定性和良好泛化性;一套崎岖海底模型地震物理模拟数据的应用实例表明本文方法具有应用于复杂条件下压制地震多次波的能力.

     

防洪减灾风险管理之思辨

分析梳理了防洪减灾风险、风险及其分析、风险管理和治理等概念,指出防洪减灾理念从20世纪早期的"控制洪水"到20世纪后期的"减小洪灾损失"再到21世纪初的"降低洪灾风险"的演变,与防洪减灾形势、社会公共管理水平等密切相关;防洪减灾风险源于洪水时空变化的不确定性、承灾体的不确定性和防灾减灾措施实际效果的不确定性等,需要根据具体问题做具体分析;防洪减灾风险管理指采取多方参与方式,在洪灾发展周期的不同阶段,针对多种不确定性,综合分析各种风险,力求做出相对科学的决策。在防洪减灾风险管理的研究和实践中,应重视有关人文因素及其不确定性、构建风险分析文化的重要性。     

土工织物加固堤防非线性有限元分析

在进行堤防加筋设计时,土工织物的强度,加筋的长度,加筋的位置,加筋的层数等因素都是应该考虑的。利用欧洲通用的岩土工程有限元软件Plaxis,采用强度参数降低法,对某一堤防加筋的效果、机理作了分析。指出无论在任何位置加筋,土工织物都有一个最小长度。最小长度的确定,要具体问题具体分析。确定了加筋的最佳位置,并建议加两层,一层在底部,一层在中部,以抑制最危险滑弧的发展,提高整体稳定性,减少堤防变形发展。

Application of a cascading filter implemented using morphological filtering and time–frequency peak filtering for seismic signal enhancement

Inspired by the idea of the iterative time–frequency peak filtering, which applies time–frequency peak filtering several times to improve the ability of random noise reduction, this article proposes a new cascading filter implemented using mathematic morphological filtering and the time–frequency peak filtering, which we call here morphological time–frequency peak filtering for convenience. This new method will be used mainly for seismic signal enhancement and random noise reduction in which the advantages of the morphological algorithm in processing nonlinear signals and the time–frequency peak filtering in processing nonstationary signals are utilized. Structurally, the scheme of the proposed method adopts mathematic morphological operation to first preprocess the signal and then applies the time–frequency peak filtering method to ultimately extract the valid signal. Through experiments on synthetic seismic signals and field seismic data, this paper demonstrates that the morphological time–frequency peak filtering method is superior to the time–frequency peak filtering method and its iterative form in terms of valid signal enhancement and random noise reduction.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">N</Emphasis>-observations and radar orbits

Initial asteriod orbits are determined by a least squares adjustment of an arbitrary number (N) of optical and radar observations. The usual separation, into an orbit determination by three observations and a subsequent differential orbit improvement, is combined into a single algorithm. A priori information is used for very small arcs. Ephemerides very suitable for linking are obtained by strictly linear computations.
