Irreversibility in climate action
A machine learning methodology to quantify the potential of urban densification in the Oxford-Cambridge Arc, United Kingdom
Regional-scale urban residential densification provides an opportunity to tackle multiple challenges of sustainability in cities. But framework for detailed large-scale analysis of densification potentials and their integration with natural capital to assess the housing capacity is lacking. Using a combination of Machine Learning Random Forests algorithm and exploratory data analysis (EDA), we propose density scenarios and housing-capacity estima…
Quantifying community resilience to riverine hazards in Bangladesh
Every year, 30–70% of Bangladesh is inundated with flood waters, which combined with erosion, affect between 10 and 70 million people annually. Rural riverine communities in Bangladesh have long been identified as some of the poorest populations, most vulnerable to riverine hazards. However, these communities have, for generations, also developed resilience strategies – considered as the combination of absorptive, adaptive, and transformative app…
An Agent-Based Model of Flood Risk and Insurance
Flood risk emerges from the dynamic interaction between natural hazards and human vulnerability. Methods for the quantification of flood risk are well established, but tend to deal with human and economic vulnerability as being static or changing with an exogenously defined trend. In this paper we present an Agent-Based Model (ABM) developed to simulate the dynamical evolution of flood risk and vulnerability, and facilitate an investigation of in…
The role of storage capacity in coping with intra- and inter-annual water variability in large river basins
Societies and economies are challenged by variable water supplies. Water storage infrastructure, on a range of scales, can help to mitigate hydrological variability. This study uses a water balance model to investigate how storage capacity can improve water security in the world's 403 most important river basins, by substituting water from wet months to dry months. We construct a new water balance model for 676 'basin-country units' (BCUs), which…
The First Web War
This article examines the information war between NATO and Serbia that accompanied the ?liberation? of Kosovo in 1999. In the light of popular readings of Vietnam and the Gulf, as the first television and satellite wars, it suggests Kosovo is the first web war. While accepting that the web in 1999 could not be understood as a mass-medium in any traditional sense, the article proposes that the sheer volume and range of information about the war on…
The farmscape
The two foregoing papers have dealt with land‐use conflicts that invade farmscape and convert it into rurban fringe. The present paper looks at farmscape which is still viable and discusses the importance of keeping it so. The keynote here is conservation, both of productive potential and of wildlife habitats. The Second Land Utilisation Survey showed that improved farmland occupied 67 percent of England and Wales during the 1960s and Ministry of…
