Dipolar redistribution of summertime tropical cyclone genesis between the Philippine Sea and the northern South China Sea and its possible mechanisms
Recent observational records show that the dipole oscillation between the Philippine Sea (PS) and the northern South China Sea (nSCS) is a leading empirical orthogonal function (EO...
Flood trends and variability in the Mekong river
Annual maximum discharge is analyzed in the Mekong river in Southeast Asia with regard to trends in average ?ood and trends in variability during the 20th century. Data from four g...
Institutional Traps and Vulnerability to Changes in Climate and Flood Regimes in Thailand
Vulnerabilities to floods in Thailand are changing as a result of many factors. Formal and informal institutions help shape exposure, sensitivity and capacities to respond of indiv...
Rainfall-triggered landslide: from research to mitigation practice in Thailand
Landslide is a serious treat to Thai society. Every 3 to 5 years large landslide is triggered by heavy rainfall. The northern and southern paart is the most vulnerable part of the ...
Rainfall-Triggered Landslide: From Research to Mitigation Practice in Thailand
Landslide is a serious treat to Thai society. Every 3 to 5 years large landslide is triggered by heavy rainfall. The northern and outhern part is the most vulnerable part of the co...
Suction-Monitored Direct Shear Testing of Residual Soils from Landslide-Prone Areas
The apparent cohesion due to soil suction plays an important role in maintaining the stability of steep unsaturated soil slopes with deep ground water table. In this paper, a modif...
Climate as a contributing factor in the demise of Angkor, Cambodia
The “hydraulic city” of Angkor, the capitol of the Khmer Empire in Cambodia, experienced decades-long drought interspersed with intense monsoons in the fourteenth and fifteenth...
Tropical cyclones and climate change
Whether the characteristics of tropical cyclones have changed or will change in a warming climate — and if so, how — has been the subject of considerable investigation, often w...
ANALYTICAL HIERARCHY PROCESS FOR LANDSLIDE SUSCEPTIBILITY MAPPING IN LOWER MAE CHAEM WATERSHED, NORTHERN THAILAND
Landslide hazard results in great loss of life and property. These damages can be mitigated if the cause and effect relationships of the events are known. In this study, we used an...
A global overview of drought and heat-induced tree mortality reveals emerging climate change risks for forests
Greenhouse gas emissions have significantly altered global climate, and will continue to do so in the future. Increases in the frequency, duration, and/or severity of drought and h...
Impacts of climate change on the amphibians and reptiles of Southeast Asia
Amphibians and reptiles will be adversely affected by projected rapid changes in climate in the next decades. Here, we review the known and potential impacts of climate change on t...
Analysis of Cosmo-SkyMed observations of the 2008 flood in Myanmar
Two Cosmo-SkyMed observations of the inundation occurred in Myanmar on May 2008 are analyzed in this paper to study the potentiality of this sensor for flood mapping . The first im...
Impact of Common Sea Surface Temperature Anomalies on Global Drought and Pluvial Frequency
Climate model simulations run as part of the Climate Variability and Predictability (CLIVAR) Drought Working Group initiative were analyzed to determine the impact of three pattern...
. Use of NDVI and land surface temperature for drought assessment: Merits and limitations
A large number of water- and climate-related applications, such as drought monitoring, are based on spaceborne-derived relationships between land surface temperature (LST) and the ...
