Adaptation and regeneration of vulnerable urban fabrics in Babol appear essential to prevent further damage. The aim of this study is to regenerate vulnerable urban fabrics in Babol in the face of flood crises. To achiev...

Abstract A total of sixty surface sediment samples were systematically obtained from ten distinct locations along the Sudanese coastline of the Red Sea during the summer season (June 2016) and the winter season (February...

Introduction: Water is a precious substance that sustains life on our planet. Nowadays, the quantity and quality of this natural resource is threatened by the global warming, industrialization and urbanization. Purpose:...

In Survival Analysis, the focus of interest is a time $T^*$ until the occurrence of some event. A set of explanatory variables (denoted by a vector $Z$) is considered to analyze if there is a relationship between any of ...

The complex geological environment and frequent natural disasters on the Qinghai–Tibetan plateau pose significant challenges to the reliability of the regional highway transportation network. In this paper, a severity ...

Abstract BackgroundHealth and health care systems are progressively challenged by more frequent natural and human-caused hazards. A hazard becomes a disaster when vulnerability and exposure interact in comple...

In Ethiopia, natural hazard threats have an adverse effect on many livelihoods. However, the systematic assessment of rural household livelihood vulnerability to the threats is lacking in the Sile-Sago watershed, which t...

Extreme hydrometeorological events are an increasing concern in Central Europe, particularly in the European Alps, where they pose significant threats to ecological and socio-economic systems. Risk assessment and managem...

The western coast of South America is one of the most seismogenic zones of the world, due to the subduction of the oceanic Nazca Plate below South America. The spatial distribution of large-magnitude earthquakes or of th...

Wildfires are natural hazards that threaten ecosystems, communities, and economies, and they have shown a significant increase in frequency and intensity in recent years. Accurate wildfire spread prediction is critical f...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

Natural hazards such as earthquakes and combat scenarios create challenging conditions including uneven terrain and poor visibility, making rescue operations, medical supply delivery, and area assessment highly dangerous...

Environmental factors such as air pollution, weather events, and ambient toxins are major contributors to human disease, with disproportionate impacts on vulnerable populations. In Puerto Rico, chronic exposure to air po...

Floods are one of the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in Malaysia, especially in low-lying places, such as Batu Pahat and Johor. National flood monitoring systems, such as InfoBanjir and Malaysian Meteorologic...

Abstract The Indian Western Himalayan (IWH) region experiences persistent threats from natural hazards mainly influenced by land use and land cover (LULC) changes resulting from rapid urbanization. The present study aims...

Abstract Environmental hazards of micro- and nanoplastics (MNPs) and associated chemicals have been investigated for more than a decade. However, the field of human MNPs health risk assessment is still confronted by many...

IntroductionProgressive lung disease remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with STAT3 hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES), despite optimal supportive care. Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) is ...

Abstract Background Pancreatic portal hypertension (PPH) is a distinct form of sinistral (left-sided) portal hypertension, primarily resulting from pancreatic diseases such as acute or chronic pancreatitis and pancreatic...

Floods are among the most disastrous environmental hazards, causing devastating tangible and intangible impacts. The psychological impact, which can be classified as intangible damage, is a crucial part of well-being ass...

This article presents the Climate-Resilient Systems Prioritisation Index (CRESPI), a GIS-based spatial decision-support framework developed to support climate resilience planning through the prioritisation of Nature-base...

This study investigates deterministic structures in statistical functionals derived from high-resolution measurements of Lake Baikal ice cover deformations preceding ice shocks - events caused by thermal expansion during...

Bangladesh's rapidly expanding electricity grid is highly vulnerable to tropical cyclones, yet operational impacts remain poorly quantified. In this paper, we investigate the impact of landfalling tropical cyclones and d...

Landslide hotspots refer to spatial clusters of slope failures where event densities significantly exceed surrounding background levels, providing key insight into how climatic, environmental, and anthropogenic factors i...

Rapid urbanization in Africa, particularly in Greater Cairo, Egypt, and Nairobi, Kenya, has significantly contributed to environmental change through increased Land Surface Temperature (LST) and the intensification of th...
