Landslides are occurring more frequently in China under the conditions of extreme rainfall and changing climate, according to News reports. Landslide hazard assessment remains an international focus on disaster prevention and mitigation, and it is an important step for compiling and...

Motivated by the fact that in isolated island environments the extraction of the renewable energy becomes an issue of increasing importance, the objective of the present work is to evaluate the wave energy patterns in the Archipelago of Azores. An analysis of the wave climate in the target area...

In view of the ambiguities and the deep uncertainty associated with climate change, we study the features of climate change policies that account for spatially structured ambiguity. Ambiguity related to the evolution of the natural system is introduced into a coupled economy-climate model with...
