Monsoon Flood Delays oleh Brook Clearwater

Monsoon Flood Delays delves into the escalating disruptions caused by intensified monsoon seasons on global transportation networks. The book examines the intersection of climate science, geography, and environmental studies to understand how erratic rainfall patterns are challenging economic stability and human mobility. Interestingly, while monsoon seasons have historically supported agriculture, climate change is making them more intense and unpredictable, leading to unprecedented flooding. This book uniquely combines climate predictions with infrastructure analysis and socio-economic impact assessments.

The book argues for a comprehensive, interdisciplinary approach to infrastructure planning and disaster management, essential for mitigating increasing disruptions. It begins by assessing the global problem, then examines climate science factors like atmospheric circulation. Case studies from South Asia, Southeast Asia, and Africa highlight flooding impacts on roads, railways, and airports. Finally, the book analyzes socio-economic consequences on trade and emergency response. The study uses high-resolution precipitation data and detailed maps of infrastructure and flood risk zones, providing insights for policymakers and transportation engineers.
