The purpose of this study is to assess the landslide risk for Hunza–Nagar Valley (Northern Pakistan). In this study, different conditioning factors, e.g., topographical, geomorphological, climatic, and geological factors were considered. Two machine learning approaches, i.e., logistic regression and artificial neural network were used to develop landslide susceptibility maps. The accuracy test was carried out using the receiving operative characteristic (ROC) curve. Which showed that the success and prediction rates of LR model is 82.60 and 81.60%, while 77.90 and 75.40%, for the ANN model. Due to the physiographic condition of the area, the rainfall density was considered as the primary triggering factor and landslide index map was generated. Moreover, using the Aster data the land cover (LC) map was developed. The settlements were extracted from the LC map and used as the elements at risk and hence, the vulnerability index was developed. Finally, the landslide risk map (LRM) for the Hunza–Nagar valley was developed. The LRM indicated that 37.25 (20.21 km²) and 47.64% (25.84 km²) of the total settlements lie in low and very high-risk zones. This landslide risk map can help decision-makers for potential land development and landslide countermeasures.

Reservoir-induced landslides threaten infrastructures and downstream communities, making continuous deformation monitoring vital. Time-series InSAR, notably the SBAS algorithm, provides high-precision surface-displacement mapping but suffers from voids due to layover/shadow effects and temporal decorrelation. Existing deep-learning approaches often operate on fixed-size patches or ignore irregular spatio-temporal dependencies, limiting their ability to recover missing pixels. With this objective, a hybrid spatio-temporal Graph Attention (ST-GAT) framework was developed and trained on SBAS-InSAR values using 24 influential features. A unified spatio-temporal graph is constructed, where each node represents a pixel at a specific acquisition time. The nodes are connected via inverse distance spatial edges to their K-nearest neighbors, and they have bidirectional temporal edges to themselves in adjacent acquisitions. The two spatial GAT layers capture terrain-driven influences, while the two temporal GAT layers model annual deformation trends. A compact MLP with per-map bias converts the fused node embeddings into normalized LOS estimates. The SBAS-InSAR results reveal LOS deformation, with 48% of missing pixels and 20% located near the Dasu dam. ST D-GAT reconstructed fully continuous spatio-temporal displacement fields, filling voids at critical sites. The model was validated and achieved an overall R² (0.907), ρ (0.947), per-map R² ≥ 0.807 with RMSE ≤ 9.99, and a ROC-AUC of 0.91. It also outperformed the six compared baseline models (IDW, KNN, RF, XGBoost, MLP, simple-NN) in both RMSE and R². By combining observed LOS values with 24 covariates in the proposed model, it delivers physically consistent gap-filling and enables continuous, high-resolution landslide monitoring in radar-challenged mountainous terrain.

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) is a typical dangerous gas in the fluorine chemical industry. Its leakage is one of the most common types of accidents in this industry, and it poses a serious threat to personnel safety and health, environmental sanitation, and social stability. In this paper, the process and consequences of an HF leakage accident in a fluorine chemical plant were simulated by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation software, and hazardous areas (lethal area, severe injury area, light injury area, and maximum allowable concentration area) of HF diffusion were determined according to the HF concentration corresponding to the degree of personal injury. Moreover, the effects of wind speed and height on hazardous areas were analyzed. The research results of this paper provide model support for similar enterprises to predict the consequences of harmful gas leakage accidents, and give suggestions on emergency evacuation and rescue work, which have practical application significance.
