项目摘要

Communities in areas prone to natural hazards often have little information about the human and economic losses that may occur in the event of a disaster, or the information needed to minimize such losses. This project is therefore concerned with advancing scientific understanding of the processes occurring in extremely dynamic hydro-geomorphological (river flood) systems, some of which are continuing to adjust following volcanic eruptions over a range of timescales. Advancing process understanding will enable alerts and warnings to be provided to competent authorities, facilitating effective decision making and communication to local communities.Lahar flows and large-scale injections of sediment into river systems during recent volcanic eruptions in Chile (e.g. Chaiten in 2008 and Calbuco in 2015) have resulted in major economic and social costs through damage to homes, transport infrastructure, power plants, salmon farms and tourist businesses. The associated evacuation of entire towns and rural areas highlights an increasing vulnerability and emphasizes the need for improved risk prediction and mitigation. The project will develop improved systems for predicting (a) the timing and magnitude of hydrological hazards and (b) the longer term impacts of sediment release causing flooding in downstream river channels, and will provide (c) training and a 'tool kit' for local authorities to ensure that the monitoring developments in Chile have longevity beyond the project duration.

易受自然灾害影响地区的社区往往很少了解灾害发生时可能造成的人员和经济损失，也很少了解将这种损失降到最低所需的信息。因此，该项目关注的是推进对极端动态水文地貌（河流洪水）系统中发生的过程的科学理解，其中一些系统在一定时间尺度上随着火山爆发而不断调整。推进过程理解将使警报和警告能够提供给主管当局，促进有效的决策和与当地社区的沟通。在智利最近的火山爆发期间（例如2008年的Chaiten火山和2015年的Calbuco火山），火山泥流和沉积物大规模注入河流系统，对房屋、交通基础设施、发电厂、鲑鱼养殖场和旅游业造成了重大的经济和社会损失。与此相关的整个城镇和农村地区的撤离凸显了脆弱性日益增加，并强调需要改进风险预测和缓解。该项目将开发改进的系统，用于预测(a)水文灾害的时间和程度，(b)沉积物释放导致下游河道洪水的长期影响，并将为地方当局提供(c)培训和“工具包”，以确保智利的监测发展在项目持续时间之后能够持续下去。
