This paper analyses the risk of extreme coastal events in major European coastal cities using a stochastic diffusionmodel that is calibrated with the worst case emission scenario from the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC), i.e., the representative concentration pathway (RCP) 8.5. The model incorporates uncertainty in the sea-level rise (SLR) distribution. Expected mean annual lo...

the aim of this paper is to examine and analyze the spatial distribution of population in cities of the southern coastal region of iran by using common models and techniques in the field and to study the trends of evolution in a time period of 40 years (1345-1385). models used in the study can be classified into three main groups. the first group is the primate city indexes (including jefferson...

After a century of absence, in late January 1991, Vibrio cholerae invaded the Western Hemisphere by way of Peru.

We reviewed the clinical records of persons attending hospital emergency departments in the major coastal cities of Peru from September through January of 1989/1990 and 1990/199...

The economic assessment of the impacts of storm surges and sea-level rise in coastal cities requires high-level information on the damage and protection costs associated with varying flood heights. We provide a systematically and consistently calculated dataset of macroscale damage and protection cost curves for the 600 largest European coastal cities opening the perspective for a wide range of...

Geographical location and landforms of various types have strong effects on the developments of many cities and associated street networks. This study presents new results of landform effects, in particular the geometry of shorelines, on the grid street networks (a total of 10,442 streets) of three Brazilian coastal cities. The results are compared with the street networks of three coastal citi...
