Official flood maps shape disaster preparedness, insurance decisions and urban planning, but large parts of USA are unmapped or under-mapped, so some communities may be left unaware of risks they face, limiting their ability to prepare for future floods.

Coral records extend the Indian Ocean sea-level timeline by 60 years, offering the first century-long view of accelerating change linked to human-driven climate impacts

The Centre for Infectious Disease Emergency Response (CIDER) is an innovative initiative aimed at enhancing pandemic preparedness and strengthening responses to infectious disease emergencies.

A new study links global warming to increased heatwaves and extreme rainfall in the Indo-Pacific. Shifts in tropical weather patterns, driven by changes in the Pacific Walker Circulation, are causing more frequent extremes, especially in Southeast Asia.

The findings from the Project HeatSafe, the first large-scale study in Singapore investigating the impact of rising heat levels, give a multi-faceted perspective of how heat stress, will lead to detrimental impacts and consequences on the individual.

In their findings, the researchers investigated the transient street air warming procedure and developed a practical GIS-based model to estimate how much and how fast the air temperature will be increased by anthropogenic heat.

Shocks to parts of electric vehicle (EV) charging networks can have significant and unexpected ripple effects, which could undermine public confidence in the support infrastructure and hence usability of EVs, derailing efforts to increase adoption.
