The use of acoustics in space exploration

, 2007
In recent years increased attention has been paid to the potential uses of acoustics forextraterrestrial exploration. The extent to which acoustics per se is used in these studiesvaries greatly. First, there are the cases in which acoustics is simply the

Flood Hazard Mapping in a Data‐Scarce Urban Watershed Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Logic: A Case Study of Cuttack, India

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floods are among the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in India, particularly affecting low‐lying urban areas in the eastern regions such as Cuttack, Odisha. This study aims to develop a flood hazard susceptibility map for the Cuttack district in Odisha, India, using a combined Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy logic ...

Resilience in the Face of Recurring Floods: Insights From the Riverine Island Communities in Bangladesh

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Community resilience is increasingly central to climate adaptation policy, yet household‐level evidence from riverine island (char) settings remains limited. This study assessed household flood resilience in riverine island communities of northern Bangladesh and developed a context‐specific Flood Resilience Index (FRI) using targeted ...

Comparison of environmental conditions in the Bering Sea and Davis Strait and the effects on microwave signature returns; March and April, 1979 [PDF]

Aircraft data collected in the Bering Sea in March, 1979 using a 6.6 GH sub z (C Band) microwave radiometer and a 13.9 GH sub z (Ku Band) scatterometer, reinforce the difficulties in interpreting first year ice types found near the ice edge in a marginal

Radar imaging mechanism of the Birkenfels wreck in the southern North Sea [PDF]

, 2010
Varying tidal currents close to the sea bed cause sediment motion around wrecks leading to formation of scour holes and sand ribbons. Consequently, scouring destabilizes the position and shape of wrecks. Changing water depths above the shallowest parts

Do Storm Characteristics Affect Urban Flood and Its Control? Assessment of Urban Drainage System Considering Rainfall Spatial Variability

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The interaction between rainfall spatial–temporal variability and watershed response has been extensively studied in recent decades. Due to the influence of spatiotemporal non‐uniformity and variability in urban rainfall processes, the urban drainage system can exhibit different capabilities of handling flood risk.

Reduction of Rainfall During Tropical Cyclone Passage by Kuroshio Large Meander: A Case Study of Tropical Cyclone Talas (2011)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and associated rainfall depend on sea surface temperature (SST). SSTs in southern Japan, which are often hit by TCs, are likely influenced by the path of the Kuroshio. During the Kuroshio large meander (KLM), Kuroshio creates a coexistence of local warm and cold SST anomalies near the Japanese coast.
