Urban Compound Disasters and Evolution

Confronting escalating threats from coastal compound disasters, this direction integrates disaster formation mechanisms with anthropogenic land-use drivers to quantify cascading disaster propagation dynamics. It aims to develop efficient disaster evolution models for evidence-based resilient infrastructure planning.

Coupling Mechanisms of Compound Disasters
Cascading Risk Transmission Pathways
Impact of Land Use and Land Cover Change
