Incorporating compound temporal precipitation dynamics to enhance landslide susceptibility modeling

npj Natural Hazards
Precipitation plays a crucial role in landslides, which most studies have disregarded the impact of compound temporal precipitation. Here, we developed models that incorporate compound temporal precipitation, constructed by jointly characterizing long ...

Catastrophe risk assessment framework of ports and industrial clusters : a case study of the Guangdong province

, 2019
Seaports, as critical infrastructures, are vulnerable to natural catastrophes such as hurricane/typhoon, earthquake, and tsunami. The inoperability of a port caused by these hazards tends to activate domino effects to the adjacent industrial clusters in ...

Simulation-based catastrophe-induced port loss estimation

, 2018
Seaports are critical infrastructure systems in the international economy. They are at the same time vulnerable to various types of natural and man-made catastrophes due to their special coastal and low-lying locations.

An asymmetric tropical cyclone rainfall model in the Northern Vietnam coast

Meteorological Applications
Rainfall associated with landfalling tropical cyclones (TCs) along the Northern Vietnam coast is examined to develop an asymmetric parametric TC‐induced rainfall model starting from the axisymmetric Rain‐Climatology and Persistence (R‐CLIPER) model.

Quantitative assessment method of typhoon-induced photovoltaic damage and energy production losses: a case study of the 2024 Typhoon Yagi

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Climate change has intensified the threat of typhoons to photovoltaic (PV) infrastructure. We present a quantitative assessment method to conduct typhoon-induced PV infrastructure loss assessment.

Urban flood risk projection under climate change: an approach based on explainable and optimized ensemble learning

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Under climate change, urban floods occur more frequently and respond nonlinearly, complicating forward looking risk projection. Taking Beijing as a case, we assemble 12 indicators spanning hazard, exposure, and environment, and pair multiple RCP emission

Optimal Catastrophe Insurance with Multiple Catastrophes [PDF]

This paper adopts a normative approach to catastrophe insurance. It addresses the question of how innovations in the design of insurance contracts could help resolve the capacity gap in the provision of insurance against natural catastrophes.
