On the relationship between disaster risk science and risk science
Abstract Risk disaster science aims to improve our knowledge on hazardous events and related consequences, their mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery, as well as how to support decision making on the best way to handle such events and consequences.

Abstract In the aftermath of Hurricane Ike in 2008 in the United States, the “Ike Dike” was proposed as a coastal barrier system, featuring floodgates, to protect the Houston‐Galveston area (HGA) from future storm surges. Given its substantial costs, the feasibility and effectiveness of the Ike Dike have been subjects of investigation.

ABSTRACT Wind energy is the most mature renewable energy technology; however, its exploitation in cities is often met with skepticism. Thanks to their ability to operate at low wind speed regardless of direction, vertical axis wind turbines (VAWTs) offer an attractive opportunity for wind energy harvesting in cities. However, limited evidence exists on

Abstract Machine learning (ML) offers a promising alternative for weather forecasting by reducing computational costs and modeling complex non‐linear atmospheric processes. While recent foundation models highlight this potential with advanced architectures, interpreting the “black‐box” nature of ML models remains challenging.

Abstract This study investigates how clouds and their atmospheric radiative effects respond to meridional shifts in the Southern Hemisphere (SH) mid‐latitude jet, represented by the Southern Annular Mode (SAM), using reanalysis data, CloudSat/CALIPSO observations, and CMIP6 models.
