Multi-hazard early-warning systems (MHEWS) are critical for mitigating extreme weather impacts and enhancing disaster resilience. However, quantitative empirical evidence on how different types of early warnings individually and collectively trigger preventive actions and influence resilience …
**Background** The interconnectedness of human society in this modern world can transform localised outbreaks into global pandemics, underscoring the pivotal roles of social, mobility and contact networks in shaping infectious disease dynamics. Although these networks share analogous contagion …
COVID-19 caused widespread disruption to normal lives and human activities. In China, the mobility behaviour response to the COVID-19 pandemic at the intra-city and population group levels is largely unknown, mainly due to a lack of individual-level publicly available mobility data. Using 210 …
Identifying the growing widespread phenomenon of counter-urbanisation, where people relocate from urban centres to rural areas, is essential for understanding the social and ecological consequences of the associated changes. However, its nuanced dynamics and complex characteristics pose challenges …
Understanding population dynamics at fine spatiotemporal granularities are valuable to human-centered studies. With the increasing availability of high-frequency human digital footprint data, the past decades have witnessed numerous efforts in mapping populations at fine spatiotemporal scales. …
Fine-grained inner-annual population data are instrumental in climate change response, resource allocation, and epidemic control. However, such data are currently scarce due to the lack of human-related indicators with both high temporal resolution and long-term coverage that can be used in the …
