Abstract A glacial forebulge is a bending‐related upheaval of the lithosphere outside a glaciated area that co‐occurs to the depression of the lithosphere below an ice sheet. The forebulge of the last glaciation attracted attention over more than one century, but quantitative descriptions on the geometry of the forebulge are rare.

Twenty‐Five Years of Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment
Abstract Fault displacement hazard poses significant risks to critical infrastructure such as buildings, roads, and pipelines. While some structures can tolerate a certain degree of surface displacement, others, such as buildings, are far more vulnerable. Probabilistic Fault Displacement Hazard Assessment (PFDHA) quantifies the probability of exceeding

Key Drivers of Flash Flood Damage to Private Households
ABSTRACT Flash floods cause high numbers of casualties and enormous economic damage. Good knowledge of the damage processes is crucial for the implementation of effective flash flood risk management. However, little is known about the damage processes that occur during flash floods, despite their severity.

ABSTRACT A laboratory‐based physical modeling environment has great potential to reproduce the complex physical hydrologic phenomena and understand the interactions of rainfall‐runoff processes in a visual and informative manner. In this study, a three‐layer physical modeling environment was developed to represent the dynamics of runoff production from

ABSTRACT This study examines the impact of spatial resolution on urban pluvial flood modeling, emphasizing the role of high‐resolution topographic data in flood inundation mapping. Using the physically‐based H12 urban flood model, we simulated the December 6–8, 2015, pluvial flood event in a sub‐watershed in Portland, Oregon.

ABSTRACT Global climate change exacerbates urban floods, making their projection into future uncertainties more challenging. Identifying flood impact factors in urban areas is necessary for effective urban flood risk management. However, studies investigating the priority determination among flood impact factors based on an integrated decision‐making ...

An Overview of Long‐Term Temporaries After Flood Disasters
ABSTRACT Temporary structures are important for a rapid recovery phase after extraordinary flood disasters we cannot protect ourselves from. Long‐term temporary structures are particularly relevant when infrastructures are destroyed that require a longer reconstruction phase.

Impact of Raman Scattering on SIF Retrievals From Hyperspectral Satellite Observations
Abstract Solar‐induced chlorophyll fluorescence (SIF) retrieved from spaceborne measurements is widely used as an indicator of vegetation activity. However, this weak emission can be confused with the inelastic scattering component of sunlight that lacks distinctive Fraunhofer lines.

Abstract We present fluorine inventories calculated for twenty years (2004–2023) and five latitude bands (82°–60°N, 60°–30°N, 30°N–30°S, 30°–60°S, and 60°–82°S) at altitudes from the surface up to 55 km. The inventories were calculated using the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment Fourier transform spectrometer (ACE‐FTS) version 5.2 retrievals of the ...
