Assessment of coastal vulnerability to sea level rise: a case study of the Kenyan coastline
Abstract Introduction: Kenya's 640 km coastline faces escalating exposure to sea-level rise, yet no integrated, spatially explicit assessment combining physical and socioeconomic vulnerability exists for the entire national coastline. This study addresses that gap by developing the first GIS-based Coastal Vulnerability Index (CVI) at national scale using exclusively open-access data.
Global Groundwater Drought Assessment Revisited: A Holistic Re‐Evaluation of the GRACE‐Groundwater Drought Index Across Major Aquifers
1 Introduction Drought, characterized as an extended period of water scarcity, disrupts ecosystems, economies, and societies by virtue of an anomalous reduction in precipitation (Dracup et al., 1980; Mishra & Singh, 2010; Wilhite & Glantz, 1985; Wilhite et al., 2014). Although drought commences with a precipitation deficit, incoming water shortages propagate through the hydrological system, leading to diminished groundwater storage (Mishra & Singh, 2010).
