Spatial Prediction of Landslides Along Jalan Kota in Bandar Seri Begawan (Brunei) Using Airborne LiDAR Data and Support Vector Machine
A landslide is one of the most dangerous natural hazards that can cause considerable damage to human life and properties (Yin et al. 2009; Pradhan and Lee 2010; Jebur et al. 2014)....
Barrier spit recovery following the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami at Pakarang Cape, southwest Thailand
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami had notable impacts on coastal landforms. Temporal change in topography by coastal erosion and subsequent formation of a new barrier spit on the nears...
Introduction: Disaster Risk Reduction in Indonesia: Progress, Challenges, and Issues
Indonesia is amongst the countries with the highest disaster risk globally. This risk is driven by the country’s high exposure to a range of geophysical and hydro-meteorological ...
Using a process-based model of pre-eruptive seismic patterns to forecast evolving eruptive styles at Sinabung Volcano, Indonesia
Most volcanoes worldwide are not monitored in real-time; for those that are, patterns of pre-eruptive earthquakes coupled with conceptual models of magma ascent enable short-term f...
Adaptation to climate change: Using nighttime lights satellite data to explore human response to flood events
To better understand the impact of climate change, we need to uncover how (and to what extent) societies respond and adapt to it. Yet the dynamics resulting from two-way feedbacks ...
Scenario-based projections of future urban inundation within a coupled hydrodynamic model framework: A case study in Dongguan City, China
One major threat to cities at present is the increased inundation hazards owing to changes in climate and accelerated human activity. Future evolution of urban inundation is still ...

A Report on Upgraded Seismic Monitoring Stations in Myanmar: Station Performance and Site Response
Myanmar is in a tectonically complex region between the eastern edge of the Himalayan collision zone and the northern end of the Sunda megathrust. Until recently, earthquake monito...
Disseminating near-real time hazards information and flood maps in the Philippines through Web-GIS
The Philippines being a locus of tropical cyclones, tsunamis, earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, is a hotbed of disasters. These natural hazards inflict loss of lives and costly d...
Tectonic geomorphology and paleoseismology of the Surigao segment of the Philippine fault in northeastern Mindanao Island, Philippines
The Philippine fault is a major strike-slip fault that traverses the entire Philippine archipelago for more than 1250 km and has generated at least 10 surface rupturing earthquake...
Street floods in Metro Manila and possible solutions
Urban floods from thunderstorms cause severe problems in Metro Manila due to road traffic. Using Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR)-derived topography, flood simulations and anecd...
The 2015 M w 6.0 Mt. Kinabalu earthquake: an infrequent fault rupture within the Crocker fault system of East Malaysia
The M w 6.0 Mt. Kinabalu earthquake of 2015 was a complete (and deadly) surprise, because it occurred well away from the nearest plate boundary in a region of very low historical s...
