A flash flood and landslide in the Leh region of the Indus Valley in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir on 5–6 August 2010 resulted in hundreds of deaths and great property damage. Observations have led to the hypothesis that the storm, which formed over the Tibetan Plateau, was steered over the steep edge of the plateau by 500-hPa winds and then energized by the ingestion of lower-level moi...

Motivation • Strong correlation between climate change and sea-level rise • Sea level rose by about 15 cm over the last century • IPCC projected sea-level to rise 5mm/yr. over the next 100 years • Potential impact – stronger storm surges in the coastal regions – coastal erosion – submerged islands – diminished fresh water supplies – loss of tourism • " Prediction of climate change is a critical...

Flooding during hurricanes is a hazard for New York City. Flood height is determined by storm surge characteristics, timing (high or low tide) and relative sea-level (RSL) change. The contribution from these factors is estimated for seven historical hurricanes (1788–2012) that caused flooding in New York City. Measurements from The Battery tide gauge and historical accounts are supplemented wit...

Simulation results from the NRL ionospheric model SAMI2 indicate that the changes in the F-region over Millstone Hill during the geomagnetic storm beginning on 3 April 2004 are primarily due to the influence of a long-lasting eastward electric field, as was previously suggested by Huang et al. [2005]. A simulation of the storm day agrees well with the observational data and shows that, compared...

Abstract. Pore pressure is crucial in triggering debris slides and flows. Here we present measurements of groundwater pore temperature recorded by a piezometer 1.6 m below the surface on slope susceptible to flows western Norway. One largest oscillations data collected over 4 years coincided with flow event that occurred during storm Hilde 15–16 November 2013. More than 100 landslides were regi...

This young man presented initially and repeatedly over a period of twenty years with symptoms of irritability, depressed and withdrawn mood, impulsivity, out-of-control behavior, and suicidal ideation and behavior. These symptoms occurred with disabling intensity at ages 3 year, 6 1/2 years, and 8 1/2 years, when he had not yet been adequately diagnosed and treated with appropriate psychopharma...

An attempt has been made to study the influence of geomagnetic storm on the tropospheric acoustic gravity waves at equatorial station, Tirunelveli (8.7°N, 77.8°E), India. The daily average of the amplitude and phase of acoustic gravity waves has been studied for the period 2000-2004. Severe geomagnetic storms occurred during April and September 2000, April 2001, October and November 2003 and No...

Operators have spent $84 billion Canadian dollars in exploration, development, and production offshore Newfoundland, Canada, between 1966 2019, produced about 2 barrels of an estimated 3.3 recoverable oil. Four major projects been developed—Hibernia, Terra Nova, White Rose/North Amethyst, Hebron—using two development concepts, gravity-base structures floating storage offloading vessels. The reg...
