Projections of global-scale extreme sea levels and resulting episodic coastal flooding over the 21st Century

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2020
Global models of tide, storm surge, and wave setup are used to obtain projections of episodic coastal flooding over the coming century. The models are extensively validated against tide gauge data and the impact of uncertainties and assumptions on ...

Plant Morphological, Physiological and Anatomical Adaption to Flooding Stress and the Underlying Molecular Mechanisms

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Globally, flooding is a major threat causing substantial yield decline of cereal crops, and is expected to be even more serious in many parts of the world due to climatic anomaly in the future.

Coastal flooding will disproportionately impact people on river deltas

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Climate change is intensifying tropical cyclones, accelerating sea-level rise, and increasing coastal flooding. River deltas are especially vulnerable to flooding because of their low elevations and densely populated cities.

Review on chemical enhanced oil recovery using polymer flooding: Fundamentals, experimental and numerical simulation

open access: yesPetroleum, 2020
The EOR techniques are employed to recover more oil from mature reservoirs after the primary and secondary oil production stages. Polymer flooding as a chemical EOR method involves adding polymer molecules in order to increase water viscosity. Increasing

Future Coastal Population Growth and Exposure to Sea-Level Rise and Coastal Flooding - A Global Assessment

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Coastal zones are exposed to a range of coastal hazards including sea-level rise with its related effects. At the same time, they are more densely populated than the hinterland and exhibit higher rates of population growth and urbanisation. As this trend

Flooding Tolerance in Rice: Focus on Mechanisms and Approaches

open access: yesRice Science, 2021
Flooding is one of the most hazardous natural disasters and a major stress constraint to rice production throughout the world, which results in huge economic loss.

More meteorological events that drive compound coastal flooding are projected under climate change

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2020
Compound flooding arises from storms causing concurrent extreme meteorological tides (that is the superposition of storm surge and waves) and precipitation. This flooding can severely affect densely populated low-lying coastal areas.

UAS remote sensing applications to abrupt cold region hazards

open access: yesFrontiers in Remote Sensing, 2023
Unoccupied aerial systems (UAS) are an established technique for collecting data on cold region phenomenon at high spatial and temporal resolutions. While many studies have focused on remote sensing applications for monitoring long term changes in cold ...

Causes and consequences of floods: flash floods, urban floods, river floods and coastal floods

open access: yesResources Environment and Information Engineering, 2022
Undoubtedly, the flood is known as a natural disaster. But in practice, the flood is considered the most terrible natural disaster in terms of mortality and financial losses. In this regard, a worrying trend is the increasing trend of mortality and flood damage in the world in recent decades.

Plant Adaptation to Flooding Stress under Changing Climate Conditions: Ongoing Breakthroughs and Future Challenges

open access: yesPlants, 2023
Climate-change-induced variations in temperature and rainfall patterns are a serious threat across the globe. Flooding is the foremost challenge to agricultural productivity, and it is believed to become more intense under a changing climate. Flooding is
