With the rise of the resilience concept, scholars and practitioners have paid increasing
attention to resilient city, which has become a new means of co** with hazards. As the …

Over the past few decades, the concept of resilience has emerged as an important
consideration in the planning and management of water infrastructure systems. Accordingly …

The global biodiversity crisis is one of humanity's most urgent problems, but even
quantifying biological diversity is a difficult mathematical and conceptual challenge. This …

Water utilities face a challenge in maintaining a good quality of service under a wide range
of operational management and failure conditions. Tools for assessing the resilience of …

Increasing system complexity and threat uncertainty require the consideration of resilience
