Floods are one of the most serious natural disasters affecting both cities and rural areas. In the UAE, recent heavy rains and floods, especially in Fujairah, have shown the urgent need for better risk management. This study looks at how new technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Geographic Information Systems (GIS), and remote sensing can help predict and reduce the impact of flood...

The Wasatch Fault Corridor in northern Utah (USA) faces increasing seismic risks due to rising population density. V_s30 is a vital parameter for understanding how a site will respond to earthquake shaking; however, obtaining V_s30 can be costly or impractical because of infrastructure or access challenges. The horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) enables rapid asses...
