Even though drinking water utilities are not meant to fight wildfires, they quickly become stakeholders, if not first responders, when their resources are needed for firefighting. The August 2023 wildfires on the island of Maui, Hawaii, USA, have highlig...

The South Pacific region is characterised by steep shelves and fringing coral reef islands. The lack of wide continental shelves that can dissipate waves makes Pacific Island countries vulnerable to large waves that can enhance extreme total water levels...

Urban coastal flooding is a global humanitarian and socioeconomic hazard. Rising sea levels will increase the likelihood of hydrologic events interacting with high marine water levels. These compound events may, in turn, nonlinearly interact with urban i...

Revealing the interlayer pressure distribution in multilayer insulation (MLI) for cryogen (e.g., liquid hydrogen) containers is very important to improve the insulation-performance-predicting quality. This paper proposed an inversion method to reconstruc...
