The benefit of high-resolution operational weather forecasts for flash flood warning [PDF]

open access: yesHydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2008
In Mediterranean Europe, flash flooding is one of the most devastating hazards in terms of loss of human life and infrastructures. Over the last two decades, flash floods have caused damage costing a billion Euros in France alone.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

Links between Flash Floods and Hydrogeomorphic Approach: A Bibliometric Analysis

open access: yesGeofísica Internacional
Understanding the hazards associated with water requires the use of a hydrogeomorphic approach, which considers both hydrologic and geomorphic aspects. In recent decades, research on flash floods has increasingly adopted this approach.

How Program‐ and Community‐Led Design Settings Affect Resilience Approaches to Sustainable Development Projects

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sustainable Development interventions must deal with rapid and novel changes affecting complex social‐ecological systems, calling for design based on a resilience approach. However, limited analytical attention has been paid to the design settings in which such approaches are deployed.

Flash Floods Hazard to the Settlement Network versus Land Use Planning (Lublin Upland, East Poland)

open access: yesApplied Sciences
There has been an increase in the frequency of hazards associated with meteorological and hydrological phenomena. One of them is flash floods occurring episodically in areas of concentrated runoff—valleys without permanent drainage.

From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.
