Optimizing rainfall-triggered landslide thresholds for daily landslide hazard warning in the Three Gorges Reservoir area [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Rainfall is intrinsically linked to the occurrence of landslide catastrophes. Identifying the most suitable rainfall threshold model for an area is crucial for establishing effective daily landslide hazard warnings, which are essential for the precise ...

Climate‐change‐amplified wind‐related economic losses during Cyclone Harry (2026)

Quarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
Cyclone Harry (January 2026) produced significant wind and rainfall impacts across southern Italy. Compared with 1950–1987, present conditions show warmer temperatures and stronger winds, increasing exposure. An estimated 72 million euros of damage are attributable to climate‐driven wind intensification. Abstract Cyclone Harry affected Sicily, Calabria,

Hydrological dynamics and morphological physiognomies of Dzüdza River, Nagaland, India: A Geographical Information System‐based quantification of drainage morphometry

River, EarlyView.
Abstract The assessment of the morphometric characteristics of the Dzüdza River basin in Nagaland has been critically important for hydrological analysis, flood risk assessment, soil erosion evaluation, and sustainable regional development, owing to its strategic location on the northern fringes of the Himalayas and flanked by hills to the east.

What Does It Take? A Cross‐National Study Exploring Drivers for Willingness to Engage in Effortful Climate Action

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT While much is known about what drives general participation in climate action, less is known about the drivers of actions that are explicitly linked to time, resource, or convenience constraints (i.e., effortful climate action). Understanding what drives effortful climate action is important to effectively tackle climate change, as many high ...
