A mobile ad hoc network (MANET) is a set of mobile, decentralized, and self-organizing nodes that are used in special cases, such as in the military. MANET properties render the environment of this network vulnerable to different types of attacks, in...
Dryland vegetation plays a pivotal role in the global ecosystem and is extraordinarily sensitive to water pulses, yet it is experiencing increasingly severe flooding. Floods have both significant beneficial and detrimental effects that may trigger ex...
The compounded effect of heavy rainfall and high tide backwater significantly exacerbate the load on urban drainage systems in coastal cities, leading to an escalating risk of compound flood disasters. The formation mechanism of compound floods is of...
Assessing multi-hazard susceptibility and understanding community insights are important for effective disaster risk management; however, limited research has been conducted to study these aspects together. This study uses a data-driven approach to a...
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) of pluvial flood risk assessment has been widely used, incorporating multiple assessment indices. However, uncertainty assessment of expert judgement-based flood risk remains limited. This study proposes a Machine Lea...
Flood is a serious challenge that increasingly affects the residents as well as policymakers. Flood vulnerability assessment is becoming gradually relevant in the world. The purpose of this study is to develop an approach to reveal the relationship b...
