Using the Dartmouth Flood Observatory large flood data archive, we aim to assess the trend of flood occurrence in the MSEA in 1985–2018, and quantify the associated impacts on humans. Particularly, the contribution of tropical cyclone (TC) landfall induced floods (TCFloods) is quantified, ...
Tropical cyclones and droughts are having devastating effects on the lives of humans and animals. Tropical cyclone Winston, for example, destroyed infrastructure for humans and animals in some parts of Fiji, and infectious diseases are spreading to regions where they are not commonly seen following ...
The Ayeyarwady River delta (Myanmar) is exposed to tropical cyclones, of which the most devastating has been cyclone Nargis (2–4 May 2008). We analysed waves, flooded area, nearshore suspended sediments, and shoreline change from satellite images. Suspended sediment concentrations up to 40% ab...
Sample selection bias may also of course play a role in the context of the effect of tropical cyclones on household welfare. More specifically, one may be worried about the non-response of households that were damaged, their ex-post dissolution, or the migration of these or of some of their...
The climate variables that directly influence vector-borne diseases’ ecosystems are mainly temperature and rainfall. This is not only because the vectors bionomics are strongly dependent upon these variables, but also because most of the elements of the
Climate change is leading to the increased frequency, magnitude, and duration of extreme weather events such as drought, tropical cyclones, and heat waves (143). The risk of drought is predicted to increase for the entire African continent, with greater severity in central African countries (144...
Also, this data helps scientists better understand the geological record and thus ancient history of the area, she added, since hurricanes would have had an impact on the islands long before humans began studying them. Sign up for the Live Science daily newsletter now ...
of humans globally. Nevertheless, the impact of climate change on biodiversity and food security has been recognized, little is explored compared to the magnitude of the problem globally. Therefore, the objectives of this review are to identify, appraise, and synthesize the link between climate ...
These compounds are potent phosphatase inhibitors, and this property is linked to inflammation of the intestinal tract and diarrhoea in humans (Costas et al. 2022). Bivalve contamination with DSTs in Portugal derives from accumulation of two parent toxins: okadaic acid (OA) and its analogue, ...
The impact of extreme floods can be significant, affecting humans, the environment and any type of human-built infrastructure. A further consequence of flooding is restricted access to medical facilities, including constraints to access more dedicated emergency medical services (EMS). To date, there ...
