Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

One more way to address the seasonal water shortage of the largest freshwater lake in China? A nature-based solution through lake bathymetry restoration

Journal of Hydrology: Regional Studies
Study region: Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China, is a critical water resource and ecological hub. However, seasonal dryness has raised significant concerns about the sustainability of its hydrological regime.

Partial Entrance Restriction as a Potential Tidal Flood Mitigation Strategy in a Large Urban Estuary

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Tidal flooding in estuaries is expected to worsen as sea‐level rise (SLR) continues to accelerate and increases storm surge height. Conventional structural defences are often unsustainable, while nature‐based solutions like managed realignment require extensive land to be repurposed.

Flood Hazard Mapping in a Data‐Scarce Urban Watershed Using Analytical Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Logic: A Case Study of Cuttack, India

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Floods are among the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in India, particularly affecting low‐lying urban areas in the eastern regions such as Cuttack, Odisha. This study aims to develop a flood hazard susceptibility map for the Cuttack district in Odisha, India, using a combined Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy logic ...

Climate and Land‐Use Change May Reshape the Biogeography of Freshwater Crabs Across China

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
We employed ensemble species distribution models to investigate how climate and land‐use change will impact habitat suitability for two freshwater crab families (Potamidae and Sesarmidae) across China. Temperature emerged as the dominant driver, with cropland and urban land having strong, family‐specific effects on suitability. Future scenarios predict

Catchment Influences on Carbon Stable Isotope Variation in Trout; Might It Be Methane?

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Trout stable carbon isotope values vary significantly and appear to relate to catchment characteristics. Low carbon stable isotope values are linked to catchments with low drainage soil and high cover of pasture land use. This is likely to be linked to high levels of methane‐derived carbon entering the stream food web.
