Growth and physiological responses of canola (Brassica napus) to three components of global climate change: temperature, carbon dioxide and drought
Elevated CO2 appears to be a significant factor in global warming, which will likely lead to drought conditions in many areas. Few studies have considered the interactive effects o...
Catastrophic rockslide-debris avalanche at St. Bernard, southern Leyte, Philippines. Landslides
On 17 February 2006, a rockslide-debris avalanche cascaded down the steep slope of Mt. Can-abag, burying the entire village of Guinsaugon in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte, Philippine...
Evaluating the impact of drought using remote sensing in a Mediterranean, semi-arid region
This paper analyses monthly differences in drought impact on vegetation activity in a semi-arid region in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula between 1987 and 2000. The study d...
Catastrophic Rockslide-Debris Avalanche at St. Bernard, Southern Leyte, Philippines
On 17 February 2006, a rockslide-debris avalanche cascaded down the steep slope of Mt. Can-abag, burying the entire village of Guinsaugon in St. Bernard, Southern Leyte, Philippine...
Unraveling the Mystery of Indian Monsoon Failure During El Niño
The 132-year historical rainfall record reveals that severe droughts in India have always been accompanied by El Niño events. Yet El Niño events have not always produced severe d...
Modeling the recent evolution of global drought and projections for the twenty-first century with the Hadley Centre climate model
Meteorological drought in the Hadley Centre global climate model is assessed using the Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), a commonly used drought index. At interannual time scal...
Myanmar in EU–ASEAN Relations
The aim of this paper is to discuss and examine the regional projects of institutionalism in Europe and Southeast Asia. The main focus is on Myanmar, a regional ‘outcast’ whose...
The Dvorak tropical cyclone intensity estimation technique: a satellite-based method that has endured for over 30 years
The history of meteorology has taught us that weather analysis and prediction usually advances by a series of small, progressive studies. Occasionally, however, a special body of w...
A comparison of adaptive observing guidance for Atlantic tropical cyclones
Airborne adaptive observations have been collected for more than two decades in the neighborhood of tropical cyclones, to attempt to improve short-range forecasts of cyclone track....
Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in the Damrei Romel Area, Cambodia Using Frequency Ratio and Logistic Regression Models
This study applied, tested and compared a probability model, a frequency ratio and statistical model, a logistic regression to Damre Romel area, Cambodia, using a geographic inform...
Variability in Intense Tropical Cyclone Days in the Western North Pacific
Variability in tropical cyclone (TC) days in the western North Pacific (WNP) since the late 1970s is investigated based on two datasets. As an overall behavior, the intense TC days...
Earthquake-Induced Landslide-Susceptibility Mapping Using an Artificial Neural Network
The purpose of this study was to apply and verify landslide-susceptibility analysis techniques using an arti?cial neural network and a Geographic Information System (GIS) applied t...
A global evaluation of streamflow drought characteristics
How drought is characterised depends on the purpose and region of the study and the available data. In case of regional applications or global comparison a standardisation of the m...
