Impact of uncertainty induced by fatality function on future tropical cyclone risk assessment.

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are among the deadliest extreme events occurring under a warming climate. Future TC risk assessment depend on TC projection from climate models and impact function relating TC to its possible consequence. Few studies have explored the uncertainty of impact function in future TC risk assessment compared to uncertainty in future TC characteristics.

Vulnerability to typhoons: A comparison of consequence and driving factors between Typhoon Hato (2017) and Typhoon Mangkhut (2018).

Typhoon disasters have caused casualties, property loss, and other negative impacts to social and economic development. Vulnerability is an important component of typhoon risk. However, little is known about the contributions of vulnerability factors and their interaction effects on typhoon-induced losses at a fine scale.

Emerging Trends and New Developments in Disaster Research after the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake.

On the tenth anniversary of the 2008 Wenchuan Earthquake, investigating the evolution of disaster science is worthwhile and can be used to improve the future execution of disaster risk management. Based on more than 55,786 articles on the relative topic of "Disaster" derived from the Web of Science Core Collection from 1999⁻2017, this study employs CiteSpace and Google Earth to identify and visualize the spatial distribution of publications, bursts of keywords and categories, highly cited references, and interdisciplinary levels and then identify the emerging trends of disaster research over the past 20 years. The results show that the earthquake indeed jumpstarted a massive wave of disaster research around the world and increased international cooperation over the last decade.
