The impact of climate change on global tropical cyclone damage

R. MendelsohnK. EmanuelS. ChonabayahiL. Bakkensen
One potential impact from greenhouse-gas emissions is increasing damage from extreme events. Here, we quantify how climate change may affect tropical ...
The variability of observed tropical cyclone (TC) activity (i.e., genesis, track, and landfall) in the western North Pacific (WNP) is examined in rela...
The present study investigates the factors associated with the occurrence of landslides along with the National Highway (NH 39) connecting Assam-Manip...
While existing remote sensing-based drought indices have characterized drought conditions in arid regions successfully, their use in humid regions is ...
Climate change is progressively increasing severe drought events in the Northern Hemisphere, causing regional tree die-off events and contributing to ...

Toward a Drought Cyberinfrastructure System

Momtaz, F., Nakhjiri, N., AghaKouchak, A.
Drought chokes ecosystems, strangles economies, and threatens human health [Wilhite, 2005]. In the United States, drought has recently forced states, ...
Heavy rainfall (480 mm) on 16 July 2015 triggered a huge landslide (DGSE and GDKU, 2016) that dammed the Tui Lam Lui River approximately 52 km upstrea...
This study attempts to understand contributions of ENSO and the boreal summer sea surface temperature anomaly (SSTA) in the East Indian Ocean (EIO) to...
The main objective of this study is to compare the results of decision tree classifier and its ensembles for landslide susceptibility assessment along...
The objective of this study is to investigate a potential application of the Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) and the Geographic Informat...
Possible future change in tropical cyclone (TC) activity over the North Atlantic (NA) was investigated by comparison of 25-yr simulations of the prese...
Tropical areas like Singapore characteristically receive heavy and prolonged periods of rainfall. During these wet spells, many of the urban engineere...

Landslide Risk in Indonesia

Cepeda, J.Smebye, H.Vangelsten, B.Nadim, F.Muslim, D.
-
The influence of global warming on the climatology of tropical cyclones in the western North Pacific basin is examined using the high-resolution Inter...
The Main Development Region (MDR) for tropical cyclones (TCs) in the western North Pacific Ocean is the most active TC region in the world. Based on s...
The implementation of early warning systems is in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction (SFDRR) 2015–2030. One of the four prio...
A probabilistic clustering technique is used to describe tropical cyclone tracks in the eastern North Pacific, on the basis of their shape and locatio...

Birds of Phongsaly Province and the Nam Ou River, Laos

Fuchs, J.Cibois, A.Duckworth, J. W.Eve, R.Robichaud, W. G.Tizard, T.Van Gansberghe, D.
Birds were surveyed in Phongsaly province, Laos, during March 1996, September 2003, May 2004, late November–December 2004, and March 2005, focusing ...
Tropical cyclones in the northern Indian Ocean pose serious challenges to operational weather forecasting systems, partly due to their shorter lifespa...
