This work advances landslide susceptibility mapping by incorporating short‐term trigger data with landscape susceptibility mapping. We also examine the importance of downsampling, watershed delineation and geospatial correlations in evaluating outcomes.

Green swans and blue skies: Climate change and insolvency risk for financial institutions
Abstract This lecture in honour of the late Gabriel Moss QC and Ian Fletcher QC examines the challenge of climate‐related financial risk. Prudential regulators and central banks recognize that the systemic nature of climate‐related financial risk makes it an emerging vulnerability relevant to cross‐border insolvency resolution.

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles
Rainfall is not proportional to the Saffir‐Simpson wind‐based categories. Lower category tropical cyclones (TS, H1, H2 and H3) can generate more intense rainfall than H4 and H5. Rainfall is asymmetric; as a tropical cyclone intensifies or weakens, the location of peak rainfall shifts.

An approach for real-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events
Real-time monitoring of hydrological risk hotspots during extreme rainfall events is limited by certain challenges. Here, we introduce a new approach for tracking such hotspots across large areas in real time.

Landslides are a common hazard in the highly urbanized hilly areas in Chittagong Metropolitan Area (CMA), Bangladesh. The main cause of the landslides is torrential rain in short period of time.

Impacts of anthropogenic and environmental factors on the occurrence of shallow landslides in an alpine catchment (Urseren Valley, Switzerland) [PDF]
Changes in climate and land use pose a risk to stability of alpine soils, but the direction and magnitude of the impact is still discussed controversially with respect to the various alpine regions.

Characterisation of Drought and Wet Events in the Paraíba do Sul River Basin—Brazil
Trend analysis identified statistically significant reductions in precipitation (at the 5% significance level) at specific pluviometric stations in São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, while other areas, mainly in Minas Gerais, experienced significant increases in annual and seasonal rainfall, particularly during summer and spring. These significant trends at

The Impacts of Southwest Indian Ocean Tropical Cyclones on Transient Weather in Réunion
Tropical cyclones which make passage near Réunion can have significant impacts on transient weather relative to long‐term means on the island. In this paper, these impacts were determined by a topological analysis of non‐landfalling tropical cyclones. The relationship between storm intensity, distance, duration, and seasonality plays an equal role in ...

Quantitative landslide susceptibility assessment of the Waikato region using GIS
Areas that have experienced landslide events in the past and the conditioning factors present at these sites can be used to identify areas of the same or similar susceptibility.
