Data Assimilation of Satellite-Based Soil Moisture into a Distributed Hydrological Model for Streamflow Predictions

open access: yesHydrology, 2021
The authors examine the impact of assimilating satellite-based soil moisture estimates on real-time streamflow predictions made by the distributed hydrologic model HLM.

The Integration of Coastal Flooding into an ArcFLOOD Data Model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
With the impact of global climate change, the speedy, intelligent and accessible dissemination of coastal flood predictions from a number of modelling tools at a range of temporal and spatial scales becomes increasingly important for policy decision ...

Urbanization impacts on flood risks based on urban growth data and coupled flood models

open access: yesNatural Hazards, 2021
Urbanization increases regional impervious surface area, which generally reduces hydrologic response time and therefore increases flood risk. The objective of this work is to investigate the sensitivities of urban flooding to urban land growth through ...

Analysis of Stage–Discharge Relationship Stability Based on Historical Ratings

open access: yesHydrology, 2020
We explored the stability of the rating curves at six streamflow gauging sites in the state of Iowa, USA, to examine temporal variability of their stage–discharge relationships. The analyzed sites have up to 10 years of rating and shift records.

The Global Flood Protection Benefits of Mangroves

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction every 20 km worldwide.

A modified flood severity assessment for enhanced decision support: application to the Boscastle flash flood of 2004 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
A modified flash flood severity assessment is presented, based on scoring a set of factors according to their potential for generating extreme catchment-scale flooding.

Hydrodynamic system behaviour: its analysis and implications for flood risk management

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Knowledge on the different components of flood risk has much improved over the last decades, but research which fully takes into account not only the interactions between those components but also between different areas in a catchment or delta is still ...

MAPPING IRRIGATED AREAS USING RANDOM FOREST BASED ON GF-1 MULTI-SPECTRAL DATA [PDF]

open access: yesThe International Archives of the Photogrammetry, Remote Sensing and Spatial Information Sciences, 2020
The irrigation districts need high-resolution spatial distribution information of irrigated fields to manage irrigation water effectively and achieve sustainable water resources management, especially for fragmented croplands such as China. However, most

Contribution of historical precipitation change to US flood damages

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Precipitation extremes have increased in many regions of the United States, suggesting that climate change may be exacerbating the cost of flooding.
