Fast, well- armed, and long-ranged, Hitler's submarines attacked shipping throughout the North Atlantic, often within sight of America's coastal towns and cities.Eventually, the combination of intelligence, land and sea- based air power, and surface vessel operations from both North American and British bases ended this threat, making possible the Allied build-up for the invasion of Europe in 1944.Flying radar-equipped long-range patrol planes, AAF airmen demonstrated the value of land-based air power against naval threats. This success has been reaffirmed consistently since the Second World War, from Vietnam and crises such as the Mayaguez incident to operations in Desert Shield and Desert Storm. The Harpoon-armed B-52s of our present-day global Air Force are the heirs of a sea-control tradition dating to the AAF's A-29s and B-24s of the Second World War. 410 4$aThe U.S. Army Air Forces in World War II 517 $aU.S. Army Air Forces in World War II 606 $aUnited States.

Due to the complexity of our cities, which are vulnerable and continuously evolving systems, urban resilience should be considered as a transversal and multi-sectorial issue, affecting different urban services, several hazards, and all the steps of the risk management cycle. Within this context, the different pieces of research that form this book deal with the topics of multi-risk and urban resilience assessment, analysis of cascading effects, and the proposal and prioritization of adaptation measures and strategies to cope with climate-related hazards through multi-criteria analysis. 517 $aIntegrated Assessment of Climate Change Impacts and Urban Resilience 606 $aResearch & information: general$2bicssc 610 $a1D/2D coupled models 610 $a1D/2D hydrodynamic model 610 $aadaptation strategies 610 $acascading effects 610 $acities 610 $acity resiliency 610 $aclaims 610 $aclimate change 610 $aclimate change adaptation 610 $aclimate risk 610 $acombined sewer overflows 610 $acost-benefit analysis 610 $adepth?damage curves 610 $adrought 610 $aEcosystem Services (ES) 610 $aElectrical distribution network 610 $aflood 610 $aflood expert surveyor 610 $aflood risk assessment 610 $aflooding 610 $aFlooding 610 $afluvial 610 $aGIS model 610 $ahazard mapping 610 $ahydrological modeling 610 $aimpact assessment 610 $aMetro system 610 $amodelling 610 $an/a 610 $aNature-Based Solutions (NBS) 610 $apluvial 610 $apluvial floods 610 $aproperties 610 $aRESCCUE project 610 $aresilience 610 $aresilience assessment 610 $aResilience Assessment Framework (RAF) 610 $arisk 610 $aRisk Assessment 610 $arisk identification 610 $asewer 610 $asocio-economic assessment 610 $astakeholders' validation 610 $astormwater management and control 610 $asubway 610 $asustainability 610 $atidal 610 $atraffic modelling 610 $aurban flood 610 $aurban floods 610 $aurban mobility 610 $aurban resilience 610 $aurban services 610 $awater availability 610 $awater quality 610 $awater scarcity 615 7$aResearch & information: general 700 $aRusso$b Beniamino$4edt$01320385 702 $aMarti?nez-Gomariz$b Eduardo$4edt 702 $aRusso$b Beniamino$4oth 702 $aMarti?nez-Gomariz$b Eduardo$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557464103321 996 $aIntegrated Assessment of Climate Change Impacts and Urban Resilience$93034221 997 $aUNINA
