Eighty years of food-web response to interannual variation in discharge recorded in river diatom frustules from an ocean sediment core. [PDF]
, 2017 Little is known about the importance of food-web processes as controls of river primary production due to the paucity of both long-term studies and of depositional environments which would allow retrospective fossil analysis.

Hazard from Himalayan glacier lake outburst floods
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019 Significance Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) have become emblematic of a changing mountain cryosphere. The Himalayas suffered the highest losses from these sudden pulses of meltwater but lack a quantitative appraisal of GLOF hazard.

Sub-daily simulation of mountain flood processes based on the modified soil water assessment tool (SWAT) model [PDF]
, 2019 Floods not only provide a large amount of water resources, but they also cause serious disasters. Although there have been numerous hydrological studies on flood processes, most of these investigations were based on rainfall-type floods in plain areas ...

Flood Early Warning System by Twitter Using LoRa
Proceedings, 2018 In this paper, a sensor network architecture is presented. This work proposes an early warning system for river overflows. The sensor network consists of a river level sensor node that measures the distance between the sensor and the mass of water using ...

If Precipitation Extremes Are Increasing, Why Aren't Floods?
Water Resources Research, 2018 Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite widespread claims by the climate community that if precipitation extremes ...
