A Network Percolation-based Contagion Model of Flood Propagation and Recession in Urban Road Networks [PDF]
Sci Rep 10, 13481 (2020), 2020 In this study, we propose a contagion model as a simple and powerful mathematical approach for predicting the spatial spread and temporal evolution of the onset and recession of flood waters in urban road networks. A network of urban roads resilient to flooding events is essential for provision of public services and for emergency response.

Unsupervised Graph Deep Learning Reveals Emergent Flood Risk Profile of Urban Areas [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Urban flood risk emerges from complex and nonlinear interactions among multiple features related to flood hazard, flood exposure, and social and physical vulnerabilities, along with the complex spatial flood dependence relationships. Existing approaches for characterizing urban flood risk, however, are primarily based on flood plain maps, focusing on a
