A review on spatial, temporal and magnitude prediction of landslide hazard

Journal of Asian Earth Sciences: X, 2022
Over the last few decades, several landslide susceptibility and hazard mapping (LSHM) techniques have been developed. Maps for the same region have also been generated by different individuals following dissimilar approaches, which can be grouped into ...

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Optimal statistical method selection for landslide susceptibility assessment and its scale effect

Frontiers in Earth Science
Accurate landslide susceptibility assessment is vital for disaster prevention, but current mapping lacks systematic analysis of the underlying mechanisms between multi-scale factors and model performance. Taking Zhenxiong County as an example, this paper

Ethnic Minority Representation After the 2024 General Election: Does Ethnicity No Longer Matter?

The Political Quarterly, Volume 96, Issue 1, Page 127-133, January/March 2025.
Abstract With a new record of ethnic minority MPs elected in 2024, Westminster is nearly fully representative of voters of ethnic minority origins. This outcome was not entirely dependent on Labour's landslide, with pre‐election analyses showing that diversity of MPs would have improved with all possible election results.

STRATIFIED ADAPTATION: Infrastructure, Elevation, and Cascading Floods in the Urban Mekong Delta

International Journal of Urban and Regional Research, EarlyView.
Abstract Flood‐prone cities in the global South are increasingly the target of infrastructure projects aimed at building climate ‘resilience’. At the same time, residents of these cities take adaptation to flooding into their own hands. In this article we examine the interrelationship between household‐scale and urban‐scale flood mitigation projects in

Measuring Agricultural Wages Amidst Conflict: Evidence From Myanmar

Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Violent conflict is globally on the rise, and an increasing body of literature analyses its impacts on agricultural production and food security. Yet the quality of data collected in conflict zones is sometimes questioned and remains underexplored. This paper addresses this gap by examining two types of reporting bias—recall and question order
