This paper explores the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) in predictive modelling for seismic events and flood risks, with a particular focus on forecasting extreme quantile events that exceed historica...

Starting from the relationship between urban planning and mobility management, TeMA has gradually expanded the view of the covered topics, always remaining in the groove of rigorous scientific in-depth analysis. This sec...

In response to issues in regional landslide risk evaluation (LRE), such as the over-reliance on administrative unit statistics for vulnerability characterization and the difficulty in capturing the fine-scale spatial het...

Under the dual impacts of global climate change and human activities, drought disasters in the Inner Mongolia grassland are a critical constraint on the high-quality development of animal husbandry. Based on disaster sys...

In the context of global warming, heavy precipitation is a frequent and impactful hazardous event. Timely identification of meteorological conditions associated with heavy rainfall is critical for urban flood risk manage...

The Greater Malang region, consisting of Malang City, Batu City and Malang Regency, has a high potential for landslides, influenced by varying topography. This study shows the potential for landslides and mitigation effo...

Despite the reductionist analyses produced by politicians and the Fourth Estate, the loss of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 was a systems accident – a product of the interactions between the actants that compose the com...
