Loess geohazards research in China: Advances and challenges for mega engineering projects

Project Governance Framework for Mega Construction Projects (MCPs) in China: Lessons from SHITH and SHCBD projects

We analyse governance in two mega construction projects (MCPs): Shanghai Hongqiao Integrated Transportation Hub (SHITH) project and Shanghai Hongqiao central Business district (SHCBD). We suggest that the governance of mega construction projects in China needs the participation of construction headquarter and three coordination platforms, namely, design coordination platform, schedule platform ...

Challenges of mega construction projects in developing countries

Mega Construction Projects (MCPs) represent a strategic option towards achieving sustainable development objectives in developing countries. On the one hand, these projects are charaterised with the need for high design knowledge and technical skills; competent human resources and managerial capabilities as well as excessive cost investment. Conversely, developing countries experience shortage ...

Earth Observations for Geohazards: Present and Future Challenges

Earth Observations (EO) encompasses different types of sensors (e.g., Synthetic Aperture Radar, Laser Imaging Detection and Ranging, Optical and multispectral) and platforms (e.g., satellites, aircraft, and Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) and enables us to monitor and model geohazards over regions at different scales in which ground observations may not be possible due to physical and/or political co...
