Geospatial Assessment of Coseismic Landslides in Baturagung Area
Java, the most densely populated island in Indonesia, is located on top of the most seismically active areas in Southeast Asia: the Sunda Megathrust. This area is frequently hit by...
Hydrodynamic versus GIS modelling for coastal flood vulnerability assessment: Which is better for guiding coastal management?
Under climate change, sea-level rise and increasing storm surge intensity will increase the likelihood of floods for low-lying coastal areas. Therefore, Coastal Flood Vulnerability...
A household-level flood evacuation decision model in Quezon City, Philippines
Evacuation is one of the important preparedness measures in disaster management. It requires careful modeling and planning to minimize chaos and confusion during evacuation operati...
Numerical Modeling of Tidal Dynamics and Transport in the Multi-channel Estuary of the Mekong River
The Mekong estuary is an area of high biodiversity in which the ecosystem has been influenced not only by natural factors but also by anthropogenic impacts (Quang et al., 2010). Th...
Geologic records of Holocene typhoon strikes on the Gulf of Thailand coast

Investigation of high-seepage zones in slopes using the Groundwater Aeration Sound (GAS) survey technique in Thailand
All too often in geotechnical works, slopes fail as a result of high seepage force arising from excessive rainfall or impoundment as well as poor compaction of fill material. One o...
Potential landslide susceptibility mapping using weighted overlay model (WOM)
Present study presented a methodology for landslide susceptibility mapping using an integrated geospatial technology and ground based observation. IRS LISS-III satellite data, drai...
Assessing the performance of regional landslide early warning models: the EDuMaP method
A schematic of the components of regional early warning systems for rainfall-induced landslides is herein proposed, based on a clear distinction between warning models and warning ...
Atmospheric resonant oscillations by the 2014 eruption of the Kelud volcano, Indonesia, observed with the ionospheric total electron contents and seismic signals
Acoustic waves from volcanic eruptions are often observed as infrasound in near fields. Part of them propagate upward and disturb the ionosphere, and can be observed with Total Ele...
