Rapid estimation of post-earthquake building damage and loss is very important in urgent response efforts.The current approach leaves much room for improvement in estimating ground motion and correctly inc.rporating the uncertainty and spatial correlation of the loss.This study proposed a new approach for rapidly estimating post-earthquake building loss with reasonable accuracy.The proposed method interpolates ground motion based on the observed ground motion using the Ground Motion Prediction Equation(GMPE)as the weight.It samples the building seismic loss quantile considering the spatial loss correlation that is expressed by Gaussian copula,and kriging is applied to reduce the dimension of direct sampling for estimation speed.The proposed approach was validated using three historical earthquake events in Japan with actual loss reports,and was then applied to predict the building loss amount for the March 2022 Fukushima Mw7.3 earthquake.The proposed method has high potential in future emergency efforts such as search,rescue,and evacuation planning.

With the aid of the newly developed ’Sunway’ heterogeneous-architecture supercomputer,which has world-leading HPC(high-performance computer) capability,a series of high-resolution coupled Earth system models(SW-HRESMs) with up to 5 km of atmosphere and 3 km of ocean have been developed.These models can meet the needs of multiscale interaction studies with different computational costs.Here we describe the progress of SW-HRESMs development,with an overview of the major advancements made by the international Earth science community in HR-ESMs.We also show the preliminary results of SW-HRESMs with regard to capturing major weather-climate extremes in the atmosphere and ocean,stressing the importance of permitted clouds and ocean submesoscale eddies in modeling tropical cyclones and eddy-mean flow interactions,and paving the way for further model development to resolve finer scales with even higher resolution and more realistic physics.Finally,in addition to inc.easing model resolution,the development procedure for a non-hydrostatic cloud and ocean submesoscale resolved ESM is discusse d,laying out the major scientific directions of such a huge modeling advancement.
