Low impact development techniques to mitigate the impacts of climate-change-induced urban floods: Current trends, issues and challenges

Sustainable Cities and Society, 2020
The severity and frequency of short-duration, but damaging, urban area floods have increased in recent years across the world. Alteration to the urban micro-climate due to global climate change impacts may also exacerbate the situation in future ...

Glacial lake outburst floods as drivers of fluvial erosion in the Himalaya

Science, 2018
A sudden outburst of erosion Glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are exactly what they sound like. The sudden emptying of a glacial lake in high-topography regions like the Himalaya can quickly destroy everything in its path. Cook et al.
