Relative Sea-Level Changes and their Impact on Coastal Zones
In recent decades, the study of sea-level changes as recorded along entire coastlines around the world has been a primary scientific focus in climate change studies; it allows the exploration of past landscape evolution, geomorphological processes, human impact, and system response to develop future perspectives.

Refrigeration Systems and Applications
Refrigeration applications are generally based on vapor compression systems and represent a significant contribution to global climate change. While refrigeration is instrumental to the development of humanity, it is predicted that an increase in the number of refrigeration applications will worsen the issue of climate change. Hence, energy-efficient systems with a lower contribution to global warming are required. In the last years the research and development of new working fluid technologies and methodologies have provided an opportunity for the transition from vapor compression systems based on fluorine fluids to more sustainable alternatives. For instance, the potential advantages and drawbacks of hydrofluoroolefins are being investigated, and mixtures with
hydrofluorocarbons are being developed to find trade-off solutions.

Rainfall Thresholds and Other Approaches for Landslide Prediction and Early Warning
Landslides are frequent and widespread destructive processes causing casualties and damage worldwide. The majority of the landslides are triggered by intense and/or prolonged rainfall. Therefore, the prediction of the occurrence of rainfall-induced landslides is an important scientific and social issue. To mitigate the risk posed by rainfallinduced landslides, landslide early warning systems (LEWS) can be built and applied at different scales as effective non-structural mitigation measures. Usually, the core of a LEWS is constituted of a mathematical model that predicts landslide occurrence in the monitored areas.

Rotary Wing Aerodynamics
Rotary wing aerodynamics have historically been widely investigated due to the large number of applications of this discipline in several fields of engineering. A deep knowledge of the main phenomena related to rotary wing aerodynamics such as dynamic stall or blade vortex interactions (BVI) is essential for the design of novel VTOL aircraft configurations as tiltrotors or compounds. In recent years, the great interest and development efforts devoted to new designs of unconventional urban air mobility VTOL aircraft based on electric distributed propulsion have focused on rotor–rotor and rotor–body aerodynamic interactions.

Manual of Arriyadh Plants
Arriyadh Province is centrally located in the heart of the Kingdom. The area of the region is estimated to be 375,000 square kilometres and includes 47 cities and 1,383 residential communities that are located outside of the Arriyadh metropolitan area. Arriyadh Province is characterised by the diversity of its
environmental features. The most significant of these is the Najd plateau and in addition is Wadi Hanifah, Wadi Addwasir and the Tuwaiq Escarpment in the north. The region forms a relatively harmonious geographical formation comprising unique flora and fauna habitats.
