Changes in Tropical Cyclone Activity due to Global Warming: Results from a High-Resolution Coupled General Circulation Model
This study investigates the possible changes that greenhouse global warming might generate in the characteristics of tropical cyclones (TCs). The analysis has been performed using ...
Utilization of Optical Remote Sensing Data and Geographic Information System Tools for Regional Landslide Hazard Analysis by Using Binomial Logistic Regression Model
This paper deals with landslide hazard analysis using Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing data for Cameron Highland, Malaysia. Landslide locations were identifie...
Interdecadal Variability of Western North Pacific Tropical Cyclone Tracks
This study examines the interdecadal variability of the tropical cyclone (TC) tracks over the western North Pacific (WNP) during the 1960–2005 period. An empirical orthogonal fun...
Tree die-off in response to global change-type drought: mortality insights from a decade of plant water potential measurements
Global climate change is projected to produce warmer, longer, and more frequent droughts, referred to here as “global change-type droughts”, which have the potential to trigger...
Hadley circulation signal in the tropical cyclone frequency over the western North Pacific
The relationship between the boreal spring (March–May) Hadley circulation (HC) and the following summer (June–September) tropical cyclone (TC) frequency expressed as the total ...
Mekong River Basin Water Resources Assessment: Impacts of Climate Change
This study investigates how the climate is likely to change in the Mekong Basin by 2030, and quantifies the uncertainty around future climate projections. It provides a preliminary...
Myanmar's deadly daffodil
Tropical cyclone Nargis wrought havoc in southern Myanmar, with an estimated death toll well above 100,000. Potential future disasters could be alleviated with currently available ...
