Title: Engineered Water Repellency for Frost Mitigation: Practical Modeling Considerations
Proceedings of sessions of Geo-Extreme 2021, held in Savannah, Georgia, November 7–10, 2021. Sponsored by the Geo-Institute of ASCE. GSP 330 contains 37 peer-reviewed papers on infrastructure resilience, big data, and risk. Topics include: geo-materials under extreme loading; cold regions and the Arctic; decision making and planning for extreme events; big data and modeling; and risk management. This GSP will be of interest to geotechnical engineers, climate scientists, emergency managers, insurance professionals, and policy makers working to address a wide variety of extreme events.  more » « less

    Abstract Aggregated community-scale data could be harnessed to provide insights into the disparate impacts of managed power outages, burst pipes, and food inaccessibility during extreme weather events. During the winter storm that brought historically low temperatures, snow, and ice to the entire state of Texas in February 2021, Texas power-generating plant operators resorted to rolling blackouts to prevent collapse of the power grid when power demand overwhelmed supply. To reveal the disparate impact of managed power outages on vulnerable subpopulations in Harris County, Texas, which encompasses the city of Houston, we collected and analyzed community-scale big data using statistical and trend classification analyses. The results highlight the spatial and temporal patterns of impacts on vulnerable subpopulations in Harris County. The findings show a significant disparity in the extent and duration of power outages experienced by low-income and minority groups, suggesting the existence of inequality in the management and implementation of the power outage. Also, the extent of burst pipes and disrupted food access, as a proxy for storm impact, were more severe for low-income and minority groups. Insights provided by the results could form a basis from which infrastructure operators might enhance social equality during managed service disruptions in such events. The results and findings demonstrate the value of community-scale big data sources for rapid impact assessment in the aftermath of extreme weather events.

    Abstract Hyperspectral imaging has broad applications and impacts in areas including environmental science, weather, and geo/space exploration. The intrinsic spectral–spatial structures and potential multi-level features in different frequency bands make multilayer graph an intuitive model for hyperspectral images (HSI). To study the underlying characteristics of HSI and to take the advantage of graph signal processing (GSP) tools, this work proposes a multilayer graph spectral analysis for hyperspectral images based on multilayer graph signal processing (M-GSP). More specifically, we present multilayer graph (MLG) models and tensor representations for HSI. By exploring multilayer graph spectral space, we develop MLG-based methods for HSI applications, including unsupervised segmentation and supervised classification. Our experimental results demonstrate the strength of M-GSP in HSI processing and spectral–spatial information extraction.
