How cold is too cold? A theoretical analysis of the optimal trigger for index insurance for frost damage to crops

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Agricultural Economics, EarlyView.
Abstract Crop insurance is undoubtedly an extremely valuable element in protecting agricultural businesses, but in many cases standard indemnity‐based products have had very low uptake due to high transaction costs elevating premiums to unaffordable levels.

Constructing regional catchment-specific triggering threshold for runoff-generated debris flows: a case study in the Bailong River

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
Constructing catchment-specific rainfall thresholds is crucial for high-accuracy debris flow forecasting. However, rapid methods for determining thresholds across multiple catchments remain limited due to the difficulty of relating catchment ...

Integrated Evaluation of Contaminant Profiles, Detection Techniques, and Management Strategies for Tannery Sludge

open access: yesAsia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This review article critically examines the environmental and health hazards of tannery sludge (TS), a complex by‐product of the leather tanning industry. TS is characterized by a diverse array of contaminants, including heavy metals like chromium, organic pollutants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds ...

Empirical rainfall thresholds for mudflow events in an arid basin of the Peruvian coast

open access: yesFrontiers in Water
Mudflows, a highly destructive natural phenomenon, frequently occurs in arid regions due to the activation of basins by extreme climate events. In Peru, the Pacific coastal basin and steep regions is particularly vulnerable to these events, which have ...

A coupled hydrological and hydrodynamic modeling approach for estimating rainfall thresholds of debris-flow occurrence [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Rainfall-induced hydrological processes and surface-water flow hydrodynamics may play a key role in initiating debris flows. In this study, a new framework based on an integrated hydrological and hydrodynamic model is proposed to estimate the intensity ...

Improving predictive power of physically based rainfall-induced shallow landslide models: a probabilistic approach

open access: yes, 2014
Distributed models to forecast the spatial and temporal occurrence of rainfall-induced shallow landslides are based on deterministic laws. These models extend spatially the static stability models adopted in geotechnical engineering, and adopt an ...

Integrating One Health to Mitigate the Emergence and Spread of Antimicrobial Resistance in Livestock and Aquaculture

open access: yesAnimal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is an escalating global threat driven by antimicrobial use in aquaculture and livestock. Resistant pathogens and genes can spread across humans, animals, and the environment through interconnected ecosystems. Using a One Health approach, this review emphasizes antimicrobial stewardship, regulatory strengthening, enhanced ...

Monitoring changes in precipitation and radiative energy using satellite data and climate models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Current changes in the tropical hydrological cycle, including water vapour and precipitation, are presented over the period 1979-2008 based on a diverse suite of observational datasets and atmosphere-only climate models.

A Geomorphometric Approach to Estimate the Deterioration of Earthen Archaeological Sites by Rainfall and Diffusion Processes: The Huaca Chornancap (Eighth–14th Century ad), Lambayeque, Peru

open access: yesArchaeological Prospection, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rain‐induced erosion processes can severely damage Earthen archaeological sites. Huaca Chornancap (HCH; eighth–14th century ad) is a platform located in the Lambayeque region (Peru) exposed to seasonal rain due to El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).
