Coastal hazards assessment in western Luzon, Philippines using geomorphic features and geospatial techniques

Program: Collaborative Research Program for Alumni (CRA) Field: Natural Disaster Principal Investigator: Asst. Prof. Dr. Noelynna Tuazon Ramos Sending University: University of the Philippines – Diliman (UP) Japanese Co-Investigator: Assoc. Prof. Dr. Hiroyuki TSUTSUMI Japanese University: Kyoto University Year: 2014 Abstract: We investigated the geomorphology and age of uplifted coral terraces and wave-cut notches along the coastlines of west Luzon, Philippines. These new data not only enable a better understanding of ancient sea levels and seismotectonic processes in the Philippines [...]
