With global climate change, population growth, and economic development in the twenty-first century, large cyclonic storm surges may result in devastating effects in some coastal areas of the world. However, due to the deficiency of global data and large-scale modeling efforts, the assessment and mapping of potential storm surge impacts at the global level are limited. In this article, the potential inundated area of global coastal zones is projected using information diffusion theory, based on the historical hourly sea-level observation records from the University of Hawaii Sea Level Center (UHSLC), consid-ering variations in coastal morphology and tropical cyclone tracks. Combined with global demographic and GDP data, population and GDP at risk of storm surge impacts are calculated, mapped, and validated through the comparison with historical losses. The resulting potential impact maps provide a preliminary outlook on risks that may help govements of countries to make storm surge disaster prevention and reduction plans.

棉花是重要的天然纤维和油料作物,也是重要的蛋白质来源。棉花因其极高的使用价值和经济价值,已经成为世界上最为重要的经济作物之一。叶形是棉花重要的农艺性状之一,不同的叶形对产量、花期、抗虫性以及光能利用率等都有影响。目前我国选育的叶形主要有正常叶和鸡脚叶两种。与正常叶相比,鸡脚叶株冠疏开,通风透光性好,可以有效减少烂铃,增加农药喷施时的穿透性。同时鸡脚叶对棉铃虫、红铃虫、结翅粉虱、棉大卷叶螟等棉虫也具
