American Economic Journal: Applied Economics, 2020 Does economic activity move away from areas that are at high risk of recurring shocks? We examine this question in the context of floods, which displaced more than 650 million people worldwide in the last 35 years. We study large urban floods using spatially detailed inundation maps and night lights data spanning the globe’s cities.

Stochastic generation of spatially coherent river discharge peaks for continental event-based flood risk assessment [PDF]
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019 We present a new method to generate spatially coherent river discharge peaks over multiple river basins, which can be used for continental event-based probabilistic flood risk assessment.

ReAFFIRM: Real-time Assessment of Flash Flood Impacts: a Regional high-resolution Method [PDF]
, 2020 Flash floods evolve rapidly in time, which poses particular challenges to emergency managers. One way to support decision-making is to complement models that estimate the flash flood hazard (e.g.

Gastroenterology Research, 2022 Flood syndrome refers to the exsanguination of ascitic fluid following the spontaneous rupture of an umbilical hernia, and is a rare complication of liver cirrhosis with ascites. In this case report, we describe a 67-year-old patient with Flood syndrome who was initially managed conservatively in a community hospital run by primary care physicians ...

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2020 Three different conceptual frameworks of resilience, including engineering, ecological and social–ecological have been presented and framed within the context of flood risk management. Engineering resilience has demonstrated its value in the design and operation of technological systems in general and in flood resilient technologies in particular ...

Evaluating 2021 extreme flash flood of Teesta River
Hydrology Research, 2023 Due to global warming, extreme hydroclimatic events (e.g., floods) are expected to happen more frequently and last longer. This study investigated such an extreme flood in the transboundary Teesta River that occurred in October 2021.
