Book Synopsis The Occurrence, Impacts and Dynamics of Debris Flows in Brazil by : Victor Carvalho Cabral
Download or read book The Occurrence, Impacts and Dynamics of Debris Flows in Brazil written by Victor Carvalho Cabral and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the landslide types, debris flows represent a greater hazard to society due to their high destruction potential. In Brazil, debris-flow studies are still incipient when compared to other hydrogeomorphic processes and a good understanding of their dynamics is fundamental to supporting hazard and risk assessment studies. In particular, determining the spatialization of events and the extent of the impacts that the phenomenon represents in the country is crucial to supporting targeted and more in-depth studies. In this context, the main objectives of this thesis are to assess the societal impact of debris flows in Brazil and to propose a methodology that aims at reducing the potential damage that future events can cause in susceptible regions. A detailed post-event characterization of a debris-flow event is also conducted, as it is a fundamental step to understanding the phenomenon's dynamics and can further support the proposal of the hazard assessment methodology. To determine the societal impact of debris flows, a catalogue of events that have caused fatalities and/or economic losses between 1920 and 2021 was created, which supported the debris-flow Mortality Rate (MR) calculation and the application of the so-called F-N Curves (Frequency of events vs. Number of Fatalities). In total, 45 debris-flow events were documented in the considered period, having caused more than 5,773 fatalities and 5.4 billion USD in economic losses. The city of Cubatão (state of São Paulo) shows the highest number of recorded events in the considered period (9), consolidating the status as the most debris-flow prone region in the country. A multi-step hazard assessment is, then, proposed using Cubatão as the test-site, based on the combination of Logistic Regression (LR) analysis, numerical simulation and rainfall back-analysis. The LR results highlight that rainfall is the main influencing factor in debris-flow initiation in the region and indicate the catchments more susceptible to the phenomenon. The simulation results, performed in the catchments indicated by the LR, show that the average runout distance in the region is 470 m, with an average peak flow height of 5 m and a peak velocity of 23 m s-1, according to the calibration based on two past debris-flow events. These results are comparable to the debris-flow event of February 2017 that occurred in the Pedra Branca catchment (Guaratuba, state of Paraná), in which a detailed post-event geomorphological characterization was conducted to estimate the event's magnitude. The Guaratuba event was of a large-sized stony debris flow, with a total magnitude of 120,195 m3, a peak flow heigh of 7 m and a peak velocity of 26.5 m s-1. Debris-flow events both in Cubatão and Guaratuba are generally triggered by short duration (48 h), high-intensity (200 mm) precipitation, with return periods that vary from 3 to 15 years. Five levels of hazard (very low to very high) are, then, proposed in our hazard assessment method, based mainly on the 48-h accumulated rainfall, flow properties (height, velocity) and the spatial analysis of the elements (infrastructures, houses, etc.) at hazard. In Cubatão, industrial and residential areas in the projected debris-flow route generally exhibit the highest overall hazard levels, as many were developed in the depositional area of the phenomenon and near fluvial courses, where associated floods and flash floods may occur. As pointed out by recent studies, an increase in the frequency of extreme precipitation events is projected in the Serra do Mar region and when the general short return period of the debris-flow triggering rainfall is considered ( 20 years), large magnitude (105 m3) events are likely to occur in the next decade in the portions of the mountain range located in the states of São Paulo and Paraná. This thesis, therefore, is a contribution to better understanding the dynamics of debris flows in Brazil and is a step towards the prevention of future disasters.

Book Synopsis Landscapes and Landforms of Brazil by : Bianca Carvalho Vieira
Download or read book Landscapes and Landforms of Brazil written by Bianca Carvalho Vieira and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-03-05 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents Brazil as a country of continental dimensions. Its territory has a large variety of rock types, geological structures and climates. The country has a large variety of landscapes, such as the humid plains of the Amazon River, the dry plateaus of the semi-arid region or the subtropical mountains of the southern region. On the coast, some plateaus and mountains, like the Serra do Mar Mountain range, formed a significant barrier front to access the hinterland of Brazil. On the other side of these coastal plateaus and mountains, there is a large collection of other plateaus, mountains, plains and depressions little altered by human interference. Thus, Brazil has a unique variety of different landscapes and extraordinary geomorphological sites. The book invites readers to learn more about the beautiful Brazilian landscapes, their complexity and vastness.

Book Synopsis Brazilian Railway Culture by : Martin Cooper
Download or read book Brazilian Railway Culture written by Martin Cooper and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 345 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brazilian Railway Culture examines the cultural relationship Brazil has had with its railways since tracks were first laid by British, American and French engineers in the nineteenth century. ‘Railway’ and ‘Brazil’ are words not often found in the same sentence. Yet each year over seven hundred million passengers are carried by train in the major urban centres, and tens of thousands of visitors enjoy heritage steam rides at over a dozen restored lines and museums. Brazilian Railway Culture starts from the premise that Brazilian society and culture is not just samba, football and sex. The book takes a journey through Brazilian cultural output from 1865 to the present day, examining novels, poetry, music, art, film and television, as well as autobiographies, written histories, and museums to uncover ways in which the railway has been represented. This interdisciplinary study engages with theories of informal empire and postcolonialism, Latin American studies, cultural studies, film and television studies, literary criticism, art history and criticism, museum and heritage studies, as well as railway studies. This is a supplementary text for use by students on both undergraduate and postgraduate courses. It will also be of interest to academics, researchers, and railway historians across a range of disciplines.
