ComHazAsTC-RRE: Compound Hazard Assessment of Tropical Cyclones within Repeatable, Reproducible, and Expandable Framework

International Journal of Applied Earth Observations and Geoinformation
Compound hazards caused by tropical cyclones involve interactions among multiple hazards, such as wind, rainfall, and storm surge, significantly increasing the uncertainty and destructiveness of disasters.

Topical cyclone rainfall characteristics as determined from a satellite passive microwave radiometer [PDF]

Data from the Nimbus-5 Electrically Scanning Microwave Radiometer (ESMR-5) were used to calculate latent heat release and other rainfall parameters for over 70 satellite observations of 21 tropical cyclones in the tropical North Pacific Ocean.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

Islandness: Vulnerability and resilience in Oceania [PDF]

, 2009
Pacific and other islands have long been represented as sites of vulnerability. Despite this, communities on many Pacific islands survived for millennia prior to the intrusion of people from Europe into their realm. An examination of traditional disaster

What Drives Sustainable Institutional Engagement and Voting Behavior?

Financial Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We examine what drives institutional engagement and voting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG)‐related shareholder proposals, using data from Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI) and Morningstar. We find that personal engagement often substitutes for voting, especially among large fund families and those using meetings or ...

How well can global ensemble forecasts predict tropical cyclones in the southwest Indian Ocean?

Meteorological Applications
The southwest Indian Ocean (SWIO) recently experienced its most active, costliest and deadliest cyclone season on record (2018–2019). The anticipation and forecasting of natural hazards, such as tropical cyclones, are crucial to preparing for their ...

Multiple Changepoint Detection for Non‐Gaussian Time Series

Journal of Time Series Analysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article combines methods from existing techniques to identify multiple changepoints in non‐Gaussian autocorrelated time series. A transformation is used to convert a Gaussian series into a non‐Gaussian series, enabling penalized likelihood methods to handle non‐Gaussian scenarios.

A dataset of global tropical cyclone wind and surface wave measurements from buoy and satellite platforms

Scientific Data
There are now a range of potential data sources for wind and surface wave conditions within tropical cyclones. These sources include: in situ buoy data and remote sensing data from satellite altimeters, scatterometers, and radiometers.
