In mountain regions of India’s western Himalayan states, forest fires are causing significant changes in ecosystem health and climatic conditions and human health.
Rockfall Hazards and Mitigation Strategies: A Focused Study on Rockfall Simulation in Gebel El-Mokattam, Egypt
This study investigates rock slope stability through rockfall modeling to assess the risks and propose effective mitigation strategies for rockfall hazards in Gebel El-Mokattam, Egypt
Tiger beetles as bioindicators for habitat management and conservation along the Ramganga river Western Himalaya
Our study provides baseline data on tiger beetle diversity and habitat preferences in the Ramganga catchment in the western Himalaya. We highlight their role as bioindicators emphasising their use in
Integrating Spatial Analysis, Elementary Analysis, and Community-Based Management for Forest Fire Mitigation and Impact Assessment in a Changing Climate
Accelerated fire frequency by climate change affects surface nutrients of the soil and the socio-ecology of southern warm places which immediately requires integrated fire management to fight fires.
The Mental Health Toll of Glacial Lake Outburst Floods in the Hunza Valley, Pakistan
We estimated the prevalence of PTSD, anxiety, and depression rates among the residents in Hassanabad post-GLOF events. The study highlights the need for early mental health interventions.
Is the National Fire Policy Enough? Unveiling the Urgent Need for Change in Himalaya’s Forest Fire Management!
This study highlights the growing forest fire issue in the Indian Himalayas, advocating for policy restructuring and applying machine learning models to predict fire duration and improve strategies.
Geo-Hydrological Disasters in the Himalayas: Vulnerability, Risk Assessment and Mapping
Uttarakhand Himalaya faces frequent geo-hydrological disasters. The study maps disaster hotspots, assesses impacts, and advocates nature-based risk reduction to mitigate future disasters.
Mass loss estimations in Patagonian glaciers and their relationship with ENSO events
ENSO events are related to mass balance results in Patagonian glaciers, resulting in gain or loss of mass after El Niño or La Nina events, respectively.
Finite Element Modeling of Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Tropical Hill Slopes Using Coupled Flow Deformation Analysis
CFD FE modeling integrates transient seepage and deformation analysis in unsaturated soils, enabling spatiotemporal insights into rainfall-induced landslides for the development of prediction tools.
