We were attending the #FIG - International Federation of Surveyors Joint Conference "Build Back Better the Self-made Cities".

Prof. Dr. Hartmut Mueller shared valuable insights through his presentation on “Integrated #GeospatialInformationManagement for #DisasterRiskReduction: #Floods in the #Ahr Valley, Germany”.

Cemre Sahinkaya presented a part from her PhD research “Urban Growth and Informality in Transition: A Case Study of Ankara’s Historic Core”.

Thrilled to share our latest publication "Visualizing uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling using bivariate mapping" nhess.copernicus.org/articles/

What’s inside:
✅ A new way to jointly visualize susceptibility & uncertainty in landslide prediction
✅ Practical, open-source tools for implementation in R and QGIS

Loved the interdisciplinarity of this project

nhess.copernicus.orgBrief communication: Visualizing uncertainties in landslide susceptibility modelling using bivariate mappingAbstract. Effectively communicating uncertainties inherent to statistical models is a challenging yet crucial aspect of the modelling process. This is particularly important in applied research, where output is used and interpreted by scientists and decision-makers alike. In disaster risk reduction, susceptibility maps for natural hazards are vital for spatial planning and risk assessment. We present a novel type of landslide susceptibility map that jointly visualizes the estimated susceptibility and the corresponding prediction uncertainty, using an example from a mountainous region in Carinthia, Austria. We also provide implementation guidelines to create such maps using popular free and open-source software packages.

Besonders Kinder und Jugendliche sind gefährdet. Warum mentale Gesundheit in Hitzeaktionsplänen eine größere Rolle spielen muss.
