The FLOod Probability Interpolation Tool (FLOPIT): Improving Spatial Flood Probability Quantification and Communication Through Higher Resolution Mapping [PDF]
arXiv, 2020 Understanding flood probabilities is essential to making sound decisions about flood-risk management. Many people rely on flood probability maps to inform decisions about purchasing flood insurance, buying or selling real-estate, flood-proofing a house, or managing floodplain development.

Anatomy of Perturbed Traffic Networks during Urban Flooding [PDF]
arXiv, 2022 Urban flooding disrupts traffic networks, affecting the mobility and disrupting access of residents. Since flooding events are predicted to increase due to climate change, and given the criticality of traffic networks, understanding the flood-caused disruption of traffic networks is critical to improve emergency planning and city resilience.

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.

Urban Form and Structure Explain Variability in Spatial Inequality of Property Flood Risk among US Counties [PDF]
arXiv, 2023 Understanding the relationship between urban form and structure and spatial variation of property flood risk has been a longstanding challenge in urban planning and city flood risk management. Yet limited data-driven insights exist regarding the extent to which variation in spatial inequality of property flood risk in cities can be explained by ...
