Composite modelling of the effect of the water body geometry on landslide-tsunamis
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Heller, V. (in press). Composite modelling of the effect of the water body geometry on landslide-tsunamis.

Subaerial landslide-tsunamis (impulse waves) are generated by mass movements such as landslides, rock falls or glacier calving interacting with a water body. Preliminary landslide-tsunami hazard assessment is commonly based on empirical equations der... Read More about Composite modelling of the effect of the water body geometry on landslide-tsunamis.

Effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation: evidence from Indonesia
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Arp, F., & Ardisa, A. (2016). Effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation: evidence from Indonesia.

Debate persists about the effectiveness of microcredit for poverty alleviation. We argue that much of this debate is due to discipline-specific research approaches and methodological complexities obscuring fundamental issues. Microfinance organisati...
