A Hybrid Deep Learning Framework for Unsupervised Anomaly Detection in Multivariate Spatio-Temporal Data by Yıldız Karadayı, Mehmet N. Aydin, A. Selçuk Öğrenci

“…We conducted extensive experiments using buoy data of 2005 from National Data Buoy Center and Hurricane Katrina as ground truth. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed model achieves more than 10% improvement in accuracy over the methods used in the comparison where our model jointly processes the spatial and temporal dimensions of the contextual data to extract features for anomaly detection.…”

Treme: New Orleans Remix by Ariane Hudelet

“…The three seasons of Treme broadcast so far on HBO show how life, in all its forms (economic, social, cultural), resumed in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. The multi-track dimension of the show (we see bits and pieces of the existence of common people, without a rigid narrative structure) falls into one form of the serial narrative, which tends to erase the notions of beginning and ending and gives the impression of a flow in which we get caught for the duration of each episode. …”

Empirical evidence of mental health risks posed by climate change by Obradovich, Nicholas, Migliorini, Robyn, Paulus, Martin P., Rahwan, Iyad

“…We find that shifting from monthly temperatures between 25 °C and 30 °C to >30 °C increases the probability of mental health difficulties by 0.5% points, that 1°C of 5-year warming associates with a 2% point increase in the prevalence of mental health issues, and that exposure to Hurricane Katrina associates with a 4% point increase in this metric. …”

Amateur radio communication technology contingency communication in emergency situation by Johar, Azlee, Sheik Osman, Wan Rozaini, Ab. Aziz, Azizi

“…Thus we need to adopt available technology, like the Amateur Radio Communication Technology (ACT), to face this problem.These include providing awareness, training and support for the communities who adopt the technology for Emergency Communication (EC).Through having more qualified Amateur Radio Communities (ARC) in the adoption of the ARCT, we would be able to improve the communication before, during and after the disasters struck.There are many challenges and issues in the adoption of the ARCT that would part of this study.This article also describes several case studies of communication failure during Hurricane Katrina (2005) in the USA, as well as disasters in several other countries and Malaysia.The tragedies led to failure of existing communication infrastructure, and were reprieved by the help of the voluntary ARC to support the relief agencies in the evacuation and assistance the disaster victims.Therefore, this article will highlight the significant issues that influence the adoption of ARCT in EC.…”

Responses of fisheries ecosystems to marine heatwaves and other extreme events. by Anthony R Marshak, Jason S Link

“…Among several U.S. subregions, we examined responses of fisheries biomass, landings, and revenue for particular functional groups to large-scale environmental perturbations (i.e., marine heatwaves, Hurricane Katrina, Deepwater Horizon oil spill). Distinct negative short-term consequences to annual fisheries biomass, landings, and revenue were observed in all regions, including at the system-level scale for several ecosystems which have higher proportions of pelagic species composition and variable shellfish-based revenue. …”

Uncovering migration systems through spatio-temporal tensor co-clustering by Zack W. Almquist, Tri Duc Nguyen, Mikael Sorensen, Xiao Fu, Nicholas D. Sidiropoulos

“…We conduct three case studies on domestic migration, namely, (i) US Metropolitan Areas, (ii) the state of California, and (iii) Louisiana, in which the last focuses on detecting exogenous events such as Hurricane Katrina in 2005. In addition, we also examine a case study at a larger scale, using worldwide international migration data from 200 countries between 1990 and 2015. …”

The Long-Term Hydraulic Efficiency of Green Infrastructure under Sea Level: Performance of Raingardens, Swales and Permeable Pavement in New Orleans by Floris Boogaard, Daan Rooze, Roelof Stuurman

“…As part of the solution to make New Orleans climate adaptive, green infrastructure has been implemented that enable rainfall infiltration and evapotranspiration of stored water after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The long-term efficiency of infiltrating water under sea level with low permeable soils and high groundwater tables is often questioned. …”
