Impact of the intraseasonal variability of the western North Pacific large-scale circulation on tropical cyclone tracks
The life cycle of the Southeast Asian–western North Pacific monsoon circulation is established by the northward migrations of the monsoon trough and the western Pacific subtropic...
Landslide Susceptibility Mapping Using Frequency Ratio, Logistic Regression, Artificial Neural Networks and Their Comparison: A Case Study from Kat Landslides (Tokat—Turkey)
The purpose of this study is to compare the landslide susceptibility mapping methods of frequency ratio (FR), logistic regression and artificial neural networks (ANN) applied in th...
Hydrological regime, morphological features and natural territorial complexes of the Irrawaddy River Delta (Myanmar)
Hydrological and morphological features of the multiple-branched tidal delta of the Irrawaddy River are discussed. Close attention is given to the impact of the interaction of seas...
Simulations of Storm Surges in the Bay of Bengal
Bangladesh is situated at the northern tip of the funneling Bay of Bengal. The long continental shelf, shallow bathymetry, and complex coastal geometry with many kinks and islands ...
A global landslide catalog for hazard applications: method, results, and limitations
A systematic inventory of landslide events over the globe is valuable for estimating human and economic losses, quantifying the relationship between landslide occurrences and clima...

One year after a devastating cyclone, a bitter harvest
A year after one of the deadliest cyclones in modern history, Myanmar's food security teeters on a knife's edge. Emergency food relief averted starvation among the 2.4 million surv...
Evaluation of a preliminary satellite-based landslide hazard algorithm using global landslide inventories
Most landslide hazard assessment algorithms in common use are applied to small regions, where high-resolution, in situ, observables are available. A preliminary global landslide ha...
Cyclone Nargis and the politics of relief and reconstruction aid in Burma (Myanmar)
In early May 2008, Cyclone Nargis tore across southern coastal areas of Burma (Myanmar), pushing a tidal surge through villages and rice paddies. The 12-foot wall of water killed t...
The 17 February 2006 Rock Slide-Debris Avalanche at Guinsaugon Philippines: A Synthesis
The paper presents a synthesis of the key findings of the conference and workshop convened to consider the causes of and lessons to be learned from the disastrous rockslide-debris ...
Global and continental drought in the second half of the twentieth century: Severity-Area-Duration Analysis and temporal variability of large-scale events
Using observation-driven simulations of global terrestrial hydrology and a cluster algorithm that searches for spatially connected regions of soil moisture, the authors identified ...
Comparison of soil moisture dynamics between a tropical rain forest and a tropical seasonal forest in Southeast Asia: Impact of seasonal and year-to-year variations in rainfall
We examined the impact of both seasonal and year-to-year variations in precipitation on simulated soil moisture dynamics at a tropical rain forest (TRF) site and a tropical seasona...
Development of a distributed water circulation model incorporating various paddy water uses. PART 1: A model for estimating cropping pattern and area
A large proportion of the water used in monsoon Asia is used for rice paddies, and the mechanism of use varies from area to area. Hydrological models, however, do not necessarily d...
Characteristic and behavior of rainfall induced landslides in Java Island, Indonesia: an overview
Landslides are important natural hazards occurring on mountainous area situated in the wet tropical climate like in Java, Indonesia. As a central of economic and government activit...
