Climate change, flooding, urbanisation and leptospirosis: fuelling the fire?
Flooding and heavy rainfall have been associated with numerous outbreaks of leptospirosis around the world. With global climate change, extreme weather events such as cyclones and ...
Prototyping an Experimental Early Warning System for Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Indonesia Using Satellite Remote Sensing and Geospatial Datasets
An early warning system has been developed to predict rainfall-induced shallow landslides over Java Island, Indonesia. The prototyped early warning system integrates three major co...
Landslide Hazard and Risk Assessment and Their Application in Risk Management and Landuse Planning in Eastern Flank of Menoreh Mountains, Yogyakarta Province, Indonesia
The Menoreh Mountains in Yogyakarta are severely affected by landslides. Due to the high population densities, mass movements are generally damaging and fatal. More than other Java...
Drought-Induced Reduction in Global Terrestrial Net Primary Production from 2000 Through 2009
Terrestrial net primary production (NPP) quantifies the amount of atmospheric carbon fixed by plants and accumulated as biomass. Previous studies have shown that climate constraint...
