Deep Learning Models for Hazard-Damaged Building Detection Using Remote Sensing Datasets: A Comprehensive Review

IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote Sensing
Building collapse is a leading cause of casualties and economic losses during disasters. Accurate and timely assessment of building damage is critical for effective emergency response and recovery efforts.

Understanding the Dynamics of Record‐Shattering Compound Drought‐Heatwave Events and Their Impacts on Ecosystems

Earth's Future
Recently, unprecedented compound drought and heatwave (CDHW) events have severely damaged terrestrial ecosystems, but their dynamics, formation mechanisms, and threats are still insufficiently understood. Here, using simulations from nine‐member ensemble

Improving risk allocation through cat bonds [PDF]

Catastrophe bonds (cat bonds) often use index triggers, such as, for instance, parametric descriptions of a catastrophe. This implies the problem of the so-called basis risk, resulting from the fact that, in contrast to traditional reinsurance, this kind

The demand for homeowners insurance with bundled catastrophe coverages : Wharton project on managing catastrophic risks [PDF]

, 2001
In this paper, we estimate the demand for homeowner insurance in Florida. Since we are interested in a number of factors influencing demand, we approach the problem from two directions. We first estimate two hedonic equations representing the premium per

Vapor pressure deficit shapes the distributions of carbon use efficiency across Siberia

Carbon Balance and Management
As a key indicator of terrestrial carbon cycle, carbon use efficiency (CUE) represents the efficiency of carbon fixation and carbon allocation strategy, shaping ecosystem function and services.

Projecting changes in rainfall-induced landslide susceptibility across inhabited areas of China under climate change [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Landslides pose a significant threat to human lives and property. Evaluating dynamic changes in landslide susceptibility under climate change can provide decision-making support for future landslide risk reduction and mitigation. Using multiple landslide

On the Pricing of Intermediated Risks: Theory and Application to Catastrophe Reinsurance [PDF]

We model the equilibrium price and quantity of risk transfer between firms and financial intermediaries. Value-maximizing firms have downward sloping demands to cede risk, while intermediaries, who assume risk, provide less-than-fully-elastic supply.

Dynamic Earthquake-Induced Landslide Susceptibility Assessment Model: Integrating Machine Learning and Remote Sensing

Remote Sensing
Earthquake-induced landslides (EQILs) represent a serious secondary disaster of earthquakes, and conducting an effective assessment of earthquake-induced landslide susceptibility (ELSA) post-earthquake is helpful in reducing risk. In light of the diverse
