The characterisation of past coastal flood events is crucial for risk prevention. However, it is limited by the partial nature of historical information on flood events and the lack or limited quality of past hydro-meteorological data. In addition, coastal flood processes are complex, driven by many hydro-meteorological processes, making mechanisms...

The 2003 global outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) was a wake-up call for health systems in Canada, with realization of occupational health risks faced by health care workers and first responders in public health emergency response. The need for investment in critical social infrastructure—including explicitly articulated plans—be...

Evidence shows the global climate will continue to change over this century and beyond. A clear understanding of the climate change risk is suggested to be the foundation of the human adaptation. The plausible climate risk index reported by Germanwatch may be criticized as the fully compensatory assumption among underlying indicators, and the risk ...

This paper studies the external impact of China’s energy policy and market environment changes and the internal impact of internal control and management on the economic benefits of petrochemical enterprises. From 2011 to 2015, China’s energy and economic policies were adjusted, and the market environment underwent major changes. This paper quantif...

On 17 April 2015, the Wujek/Śląsk underground coal mine in Poland was struck by a strong induced tremor of magnitude M4.0. The event was followed by a massive rock burst and a collapse of tunnels in the vicinity of the hypocentre. The earthquake was widely felt in the densely populated surrounding area. In this paper, we describe a possible connect...

In recent years, climate change has been one of the most complicated problems that human being has faced. Climate change adaptation (CCA) is considered to be an important component of risk management. In order to achieve adaptation, it is necessary to determine the indicators influencing adaptation in each community and this requires measurement an...

Hydrodynamic models have been widely used in urban flood modelling. Due to the prohibitive computational cost, most of urban flood simulations have been currently carried out at low spatial resolution or in small localised domains, leading to unreliable predictions. With the recent advance in high-performance computing technologies, GPU-accelerated...

Moving on a bridge, a road vehicle will experience a gusty crosswind caused by the shielding effects of the bridge tower. The corresponding driving safety is affected by several uncertain factors. In this study, a closed-loop driver-vehicle-crosswind (DVC) model is established to obtain the dynamic responses of the vehicle under given driving condi...
