Glacial lake outburst floods threaten millions globally
Nature Communications, 2023 Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are a major hazard to downstream populations. Here, the authors show that 15 million people globally are potentially exposed to GLOF impacts, with more than half of these living in India, Pakistan, Peru and China ...

Satellite imaging reveals increased proportion of population exposed to floods
Nature, 2021 Flooding affects more people than any other environmental hazard and hinders sustainable development1,2. Investing in flood adaptation strategies may reduce the loss of life and livelihood caused by floods3.

The challenge of unprecedented floods and droughts in risk management
Nature, 2022 Risk management has reduced vulnerability to floods and droughts globally1,2, yet their impacts are still increasing3. An improved understanding of the causes of changing impacts is therefore needed, but has been hampered by a lack of empirical data4,5 ...

Global Changes in 20‐Year, 50‐Year, and 100‐Year River Floods
Geophysical Research Letters, 2021 Concepts like the 100‐year flood event can be misleading if they are not updated to reflect significant changes over time. Here, we model observed annual maximum daily streamflow using a nonstationary approach to provide the first global picture of ...

A review of the flood management: from flood control to flood resilience
Heliyon, 2022 Climate change and socioeconomic developments are increasing the frequency and severity of floods. Flood management is widely recognized as an effective way to reduce the adverse consequences, and a more resilient and sustainable flood management approach has been the goal in recent studies. This study used a detailed bibliometric analysis of keywords,
