This paper presents a method for rapid evaluation of direct flood damage using Google Earth Engine (GEE) for swift action in flood-related disaster response, recovery, and reconstruction.

Satellite-detected night lights data are widely used to evaluate economic impacts of disasters. But growing evidence in applied economics suggests that impact estimates are potentially distorted when popular DMSP night lights data are used.

This paper looks at the role social capital has played in the survival of an understudied and vulnerable group in the Philippines during the COVID-19 pandemic - the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as Typhoon Yolanda).

On 8 November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan made landfall in the Philippines. Ten years on, survivors are still rebuilding their lives, but wide-ranging resilience measures mean that previously at-risk communities are now better protected.

This is the detailed survey of vegetation on newly created volcanic surfaces in the Mount Pina-tubo, Luzon, Philippines and provides a baseline for understanding the landscape-level processes determining continuing succession.

This book shares the findings of study focusing on experience of Concepcion set against backdrop of lingering Mt. Pinatubo disaster in Region III to highlight opportunities and problems which may also exist in other municipalities similarly afflicted.

Benthic foraminifera from the South China Sea were studied to assess mass mortality and to monitor the composition and recovery of the benthic communities following the 1991 Mt Pinatubo ashfall.

This paper is about the project focused on the investigation of the post-eruption hazards at Mt. Pinatubo (Philippines) using remote sensing data, and field observations of the 1991 eruption deposits.
