A TRMM-based tropical cyclone cloud and precipitation feature database
The Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) satellite has provided invaluable data for tropical cyclone (TC) research since December 1997. The challenge, however, is how to anal...
A fuzzy intelligent decision support system for typhoon disaster management
This paper presents the conceptual framework of fuzzy intelligent decision support system for typhoon disaster management. The typhoon risk management pattern was mentioned in the ...
Characteristics and trends in various forms of the Palmer Drought Severity Index during 1900–2008
The Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI) has been widely used to study aridity changes in modern and past climates. Efforts to address its major problems have led to new variants o...
A 100-year maximum flood susceptibility mapping using integrated hydrological and hydrodynamic models: Kelantan River Corridor, Malaysia
The Kelantan River is located in the northeastern part of Peninsular Malaysia and presents a great challenge in terms of long and recurring floods. The recent floods, in the year 2...
The Economics of Natural Disasters, Annual Review of Resource Economics
This review discusses the ways in which countries are affected by natural disasters, depending on their socioeconomic characteristics, their level of development, and their inheren...
Identification and quantification of the hydrological impacts of imperviousness in urban catchments: A review
Urbanisation produces numerous changes in the natural environments it replaces. The impacts include habitat fragmentation and changes to both the quality and quantity of the stormw...
