Towards an early-warning system for global landslides triggered by rainfall and earthquake
Drawing upon the recent advances of satellite remote-sensing technology and landslide modelling techniques, a framework is proposed to attempt an early-warning system for landslide...
Cluster analysis of typhoon tracks. Part I: General properties
A new probabilistic clustering technique, based on a regression mixture model, is used to describe tropical cyclone trajectories in the western North Pacific. Each component of the...

A Landslide Risk Rating System for Baguio, Philippines
This research formulates a Landslide Risk Rating System for the Greater Baguio area in the Philippines. It is hoped that the tool will be made a part of the physical/urban planning...
Trapping Efficiencies of Cultivated and Natural Riparian Vegetation of Northern Laos
In northern Laos, intensification of cultivation on sloping land leads to accelerated erosion processes. Management of riparian land may counteract the negative impacts of higher s...
Impacts of Typhoon Vae and Linda on wind waves in the Upper Gulf of Thailand and East Coast
The Upper Gulf of Thailand and east coast are the locations of the 3 important deepsea ports of Thailand, namely Bangkok port, Laem Chabang port and Map Ta Phut port which needed w...
A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model for flood inundation simulation: a case study in the lower Mekong river basin
The lower Mekong basin is frequently affected by floods. Prolonged floods disrupt daily activities and cause huge socio-economic damage almost every year. An advanced flood warning...
The advanced Dvorak technique: continued development of an objective scheme to estimate tropical cyclone intensity using geostationary infrared satellite imagery
Tropical cyclones are becoming an increasing menace to society as populations grow in coastal regions. Forecasting the intensity of these often-temperamental weather systems can be...
Urban water-related environmental transitions in Southeast Asia
This article reviews water-related urban environmental conditions in Southeast Asia. It argues that the development of urban environmental challenges in the region follows a unique...
A Stable Future
This article reports slope stabilisation trials in northern Laos, south-east Asia. Routes 13 North and 7 have suffered from landslides where steep slopes are underlain by jointed a...
Flood and landslide applications of near real-time satellite rainfall products
Floods and associated landslides account for the largest number of natural disasters and affect more people than any other type of natural disaster. With the availability of satell...
