Global and regional drought dynamics in the climate warming era
This article investigates whether the highest global temperature during 2001–2012 triggered some changes in drought area, frequency, intensity and duration. New satellite-based v...
Geoscience innovations for sustainable development : THE FUTURE WE WANT
The Rio+20 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (UNCSD), recently concluded in June 2012, mapped out the way forward for the next decades. A key driver among the six outcomes o...
Development of Socio-Technical Approach for Landslide Mitigation and Risk Reduction Program in Indonesia
Intensive efforts for mitigating and reducing the risk of landslides in Indonesia have been conducted since more than 30 years ago. But still, substantial socio-economical losses c...
Rainfall-triggered large landslides on 15 December 2005 in Van Canh District, Binh Dinh Province, Vietnam
Landslides are one of the most dangerous hazards in Vietnam. Most landslides occur at excavated slopes, and natural slope failures are rare in the country. However, the volume of n...
Landslide Susceptibility Assessment in the Hoa Binh Province of Vietnam: A Comparison of the Levenberg–Marquardt and Bayesian Regularized Neural Networks

VULNERABILITY OF COASTAL AREAS IN SOUTHERN VIETNAM AGAINST TROPICAL CYCLONES AND STORM SURGES
Vietnam has a long coastline that stretches from north to south and thus is a country highly susceptible to coastal disasters. However, the southern part of Vietnam has generally b...
Landslide-Amplified Flash Floods—the June 2008 Panay Island Flooding, Philippines
The role of landslides in generating or enhancing a flash flood event in Aklan, Panay Island, Philippines, resulting from Typhoon Fengshen, was investigated. The flash flood occurr...
A Coupled Hydrology/Slope Kinematics Model for Developing Early Warning Criteria in the Kalitlaga Landslide, Banjarnegara, Indonesia
The tropical climatic condition of Indonesia brings consequences of high activity of landslide in the area. Although, studies of landslide activity and rainfall as triggering facto...
An artificial neural network model for flood simulation using GIS: Johor River Basin, Malaysia
Flooding is one of the most destructive natural hazards that cause damage to both life and property every year, and therefore the development of flood model to determine inundation...
Spatial Prediction of Landslide Hazards in Hoa Binh Province (Vietnam): A Comparative Assessment of the Efficacy of Evidential Belief Functions and Fuzzy Logic Models
The main objective of this study is to evaluate and compare the results of evidential belief functions and fuzzy logic models for spatial prediction of landslide hazards in the Hoa...
The effects of orography in indochina on wind, cloud, and rainfall patterns during Typhoon Ketsana (2009)
The objective of this study is to i) investigate the effects of orography on the rainfall, wind, and cloud systems of the Typhoon Ketsana (2009) in Indochina, ii) determine rainfal...
