The country already appears to be experiencing more floods with consequent storm-initiated landsliding, and in many instances such events are coincident with areas of exotic forests.
Previous studies suggested that the most severe form of EV71 infection causing pulmonary edema might result from the overreaction of immune system and consequent cytokine storm [ 19, 42].
Because the dust storm and consequent public health messages had widespread media coverage, the health consequences from this dust storm are likely to represent the optimal health outcomes that can be hoped for when similar events occur in the future.
Sea-level rise, potential changes in the intensity and frequency of storms, and consequent shoreline erosion and flooding will have increasing impacts on the economy and culture of coastal regions.
The review reveals the need for more modelling of deciduous forest, for progressively more sparse forest and for forest in regions with intensive storms and the consequent high rainfall rates.
4. Consequent increased potential for large arctic storms like the Great Arctic Cyclone this summer.
After Sandy, there was a five-day blackout in lower Manhattan, because the walls protecting Con Ed's substation along the East River, at twelve and a half feet above the ground, were eighteen inches too low to stop the storm surge and prevent the consequent equipment explosions.
As mentioned before, an increase in the ionospheric electron density or in the VTEC can be also provoked by storm-time-enhanced neutral winds and the consequent ionospheric uplift, by downwelling of the gas due to storm-time-induced thermospheric circulation (i.e., increase in the O/N2 ratio), as well as by plasma fluxes from plasmasphere (e.g., Prölss 1995; Danilov 2013).
The susceptibility of forest cutover to storm-initiated mass wasting (predominantly landslides) has similarly been well documented (Bishop and Stevens 1964; Ziemer 1981a, b, c; Furbish and Rice 1983; Guthrie 2002; Marden et al. 2006, 2007)h,i,n,q, with consequent on-and off-site impact following a storm often exacerbated by the presence of logging slash (woody debris)e,k.
Hurricane Harvey's floods were unprecedented, but the situation was made worse by Houston's lack of zoning laws, and its consequent overdevelopment on wetlands that would have absorbed that storm water, says Sacoby Wilson, director of community engagement, environmental justice and health at the University of Maryland, College Park.
New insights about nearshore dynamics came from studying the effects of regular storms in South Australia on drifting marine macrophytes, consequent wrack accumulation and associated fauna in beach surf zones across three different regions.
