InSAR Integrated Machine Learning Approach for Landslide Susceptibility Mapping in California

Remote Sensing
Landslides pose significant threats to life and property, particularly in mountainous regions. To address this, this study develops a landslide susceptibility model integrating Earth Observation (EO) data, historical data, and Multi-Temporal ...

Natural disaster risk salience and the strategic appointment of directors with sustainability expertise

Journal of Financial Research, EarlyView.
Abstract This article examines how salient sustainability risks from near‐miss natural disasters influence board composition. Using a difference‐in‐differences design, I find that firms located in counties neighboring disaster‐affected areas significantly increase the presence of directors with sustainability expertise following the disaster.

Resolving a debate over social freedom

The Southern Journal of Philosophy, EarlyView.
Abstract When I am unable to drive due to a road blockade, there seems to be a morally relevant difference between a case in which the road is blocked by workers and a case in which the road is blocked by a landslide. Many political philosophers tried to capture this pretheoretical judgment at a more abstract level through the formulation of a concept ...

Evaluation of landslide susceptibility mapping techniques using lidar-derived conditioning factors (Oregon case study)

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016
Landslides are a significant geohazard, which frequently result in significant human, infrastructure, and economic losses. Landslide susceptibility mapping using GIS and remote sensing can help communities prepare for these damaging events.

Assessments of Liquefaction Triggering and Manifestation at Three Case History Sites in Napier Based on 1931 Hawke's Bay, New Zealand, Earthquake

Earthquake Spectra, Volume 42, Issue 3, August 2026.
The 1931 Hawke's Bay earthquake (∼MS 7.8) stands as one of New Zealand's most devastating, causing widespread liquefaction and damage across the city of Napier. However, Napier remains underrepresented in liquefaction hazard studies as compared to other regions in the country.

Building centaur responders: is emergency management ready for artificial intelligence?

Disasters, Volume 50, Issue 3, July 2026.
Abstract This article examines the preparedness of emergency management (EM) for addressing questions pertaining to artificial intelligence (AI), encompassing its benefits to EM missions, the potential biases, the societal impacts, and more. We pinpoint two key shortcomings in early EM research on AI: (i) insufficient discussion of both AI's history ...

Landslide susceptibility evaluation in Fengjie County based on slope units extracted using the MIA-HSU method

Zhongguo dizhi zaihai yu fangzhi xuebao
Grid units have limitations in accurately delineating the morphology and boundaries of slopes, and when used as mapping units in landslide susceptibility evaluation, they cannot accurately describe the landslide susceptibility of natural slopes ...

Tropical Cyclone Rainfall Spatial Asymmetries in the Lesser Antilles

International Journal of Climatology, Volume 46, Issue 8, 30 June 2026.
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.

Landslide manual and automated inventories, and susceptibility mapping using LIDAR in the forested mountains of Guerrero, Mexico

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2017
Landslides are a pervasive natural disaster, resulting in severe social, environmental and economic impacts worldwide. The tropical, mountainous landscape in South-West Mexico is predisposed to landslides because of frequent hurricanes and earthquakes ...

Fish Farmers' Perceptions and Interest in Aquaculture Insurance as a Resilience Tool Against Tropical Cyclones: A Case Study of Cyclone Freddy in Southern Malawi

Aquaculture, Fish and Fisheries, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Climate change is one of the major threats to global food production systems, with aquaculture being particularly vulnerable. Despite the widespread use of insurance as a coping mechanism for natural disasters, its adoption in aquaculture remains minimal and often undocumented in developing countries.
