Articulating and Stationary PARSIVEL Disdrometer Measurements in Conditions with Strong Winds and Heavy Rainfall
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of strong winds on the quality of optical Particle Size Velocity (PARSIVEL) disdrometer measurements is examined with data from Hurricane Ike in 2008 and from convective thunderstorms observed during the second Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes Experiment (VORTEX2) in 2010.

Land subsidence at aquaculture facilities in the Yellow River delta, China
S. Higgins,S. Higgins,Irina Overeem,Irina Overeem,Akiko Tanaka,James P. M. Syvitski,James P. M. Syvitski +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors applied differential interference to the coast of the Yellow River delta (YRD) in China and found that subsidence rates are as high as 250 mm/y at aquaculture facilities, likely due to groundwater pumping.

InSAR measurements of compaction and subsidence in the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, Bangladesh
S. Higgins,S. Higgins,Irina Overeem,Irina Overeem,Michael S. Steckler,James P. M. Syvitski,James P. M. Syvitski,Leonardo Seeber,S. Humayun Akhter +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reconstructs subsidence rates in the eastern portion of the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD), Bangladesh, covering more than 10,000 km2 at a high spatial resolution of 100m.

Design with nature: Causation and avoidance of catastrophic flooding, Myanmar
G. R. Brakenridge,James P. M. Syvitski,E. Niebuhr,Irina Overeem,S. Higgins,Albert J. Kettner,L. Prades +6 more
TL;DR: Myanmar is among 15 nations that account for 80% of global population exposed to flooding as mentioned in this paper, and the country suffered exceptional damage and human mortalities from tropical storm Nargis, which followed an unusual but not unprecedented storm track.

Global mapping of storm surges and the assessment of coastal vulnerability
G. R. Brakenridge,James P. M. Syvitski,Irina Overeem,S. Higgins,Albert J. Kettner,J. A. Stewart-Moore,Rogier Westerhoff +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide a retrospective view of sample storm surges as mapped via these sensors and describe: (a) the present, MODIS-based surface water surveillance system, (b) the mapping enhancement to be provided by frequent-repeat, wide-swath satellite radar imaging, and (c) the emerging prospects for routine global surveillance of storm surge events.
