Toward a sustainable future of sand
Key drivers and predictability of the unprecedented 2024 United Arab Emirates flood
In mid-April 2024, the Arabian Peninsula was struck by an extreme rainfall event, during which some areas received an entire year’s worth of precipitation within just 24 h. The United Arab Emirates was the hardest hit, experiencing widespread flooding, four fatalities, and economic damages exceeding USD 544 million. Analysis of multiple precipitation datasets confirmed that this was the most intense daily rainfall event ever recorded in the regio…

The salinization of the Mekong Delta: Major drivers, coping strategies, and new hopes from ecosystem-based approaches
Burst flooding in Singapore: An emerging urban flooding type revealed by high-temporal-resolution observations
Urbanisation significantly alters the interaction between land surface and the lower troposphere, impacting occurrences of natural hazards. The influence of urbanisation on natural hazards like heatwaves, hailstorms, and flooding remains debated. However, it is well established that impervious surfaces in urban areas can lead to flooding amplification. Singapore, amidst rapid urbanisation, experiences frequent flooding, exacerbated by its tropica…
Global impact of seawater intrusion on coastal agriculture
Coastal agriculture faces escalating threats from seawater intrusion (SWI), jeopardizing global food security through freshwater scarcity, soil salinization and crop damage. However, research on SWI often fails to consider its impact on coastal agriculture. Linking georeferenced SWI data with cropland presence, this review examines SWI’s global distribution and primary drivers. Major attested hotspots include the Mediterranean, South and South-Ea…

Southeast Asia's dynamic sand trade and the need for better data
Landscape and Social Disruption from Sand Mining and Mining-Related Activities: A Case from the Vietnamese Mekong Delta
The heavy global demand for sand in various sectors of the economy subjects the Vietnamese Mekong Delta to correspondingly high amounts of sand mining—a process that started in the early 1990s contributing significantly to the Vietnamese economy. The impacts of intensive sand mining and mining-related industries damage the integrity of the river and local communities. Much of the literature focuses on the former, exposing people to the deleteriou…

Adaptation for changing deltas
Mainstreaming ecotourism as an ecosystem-based adaptation in Vietnam: Insights from three different value chain models
Use of a Modis Satellite-Based Aridity Index to Monitor Drought Conditions in the Pearl River Basin from 2001 to 2021
In recent decades, global climate change has made natural hazards increasingly prevalent. Droughts, as a common natural hazard, have been a hot study topic for years. Most studies conducted drought monitoring in arid and semi-arid regions. In humid and sub-humid regions, due to climate change, seasonal droughts and seasonal water shortages were often observed too, but have not been well studied. This study, using a MODIS satellite-based aridity i…
The worst 2020 saline water intrusion disaster of the past century in the Mekong Delta: Impacts, causes, and management implications
Volunteered Geographic Videos in Physical Geography: Data Mining from YouTube
Volunteered geographic information and citizen science have advanced academic and public understanding of geographical and ecological processes. Videos hosted online represent a large data source that could potentially provide meaningful results for studies in physical geography—a concept we term volunteered geographic videos (VGV). Technological advances in image-capturing devices, computing, and image processing have resulted in increasingly so…
Rivers and Streams
Streams are water bodies that flow downslope due to gravity through a natural open channel. The channel may contain water for at least part of the year. Streams with a substantial volume of water are considered rivers and typically reach the ocean, while others end in interior basins. River action is a dominant force responsible for shaping the Earth's surface and for transporting sediments from land to ocean. Rivers contain a remarkable biodiver…
