Local Scale Current and Projected Future Total Flood Hazard Mapping for Canada—Literature Review
ABSTRACT This review, based on 231 articles, focuses on studies relevant to Canada that assess fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flood hazards at national and broader scales. It evaluates the application of remote sensing and artificial intelligence methods for flood mapping within the Canadian context.

Abstract Estimating how close a species is to its upper thermal limits (i.e., warming tolerance, a thermal sensitivity index) and how that proximity changes across space enables spatially explicit identification of species with increased extinction risk as temperatures increase. Yet, thermal sensitivity is often difficult to calculate because it is the

Transformation of GPS measurements in the Koice hollow into the national geodetic grid [PDF]
The paper deals with transformation procedures observed GPS (Global Positioning System) data from the World Geodetic System WGS-84 into the national grid datum S-JTSK and Bpv. GPS measurements are realized on the geodetic network in the Koice-hollow for

Estimation of Geopotential Value W0 for the Geoid and Local Vertical Datum Parameters
Unification of the global vertical datum has been a key problem to be solved for geodesy over a long period, and the main challenge for unifying the global vertical datum system is to determine the geopotential value W0 of the geoid and to calculate the ...

Rate of Sea‐Level Rise and Sediment Characteristics Modulate Deltaic River‐Tide Interactions
Abstract Due to sea‐level rise, small river‐dominated deltas (<100 km2) are expected to become more exposed to tidal influences in the future. However, there remains a knowledge gap in the impending hydrodynamics of such deltas, particularly with the interactions between river and tidal flows.

Inferences of mantle viscosity based on ice age data sets: Radial structure [PDF]
We perform joint nonlinear inversions of glacial isostatic adjustment (GIA) data, including the following: postglacial decay times in Canada and Scandinavia, the Fennoscandian relaxation spectrum (FRS), late-Holocene differential sea level (DSL ...

In Situ Geometric Validation of SWOT Satellite Observations in Bass Strait, Australia
Abstract Here we validate the Surface Water and Ocean Topography (SWOT) satellite mission sea surface height (SSH) products using an array of nine GNSS buoys at the long‐term altimetry validation facility in Bass Strait. As a groundbreaking swath altimetry mission, the opportunities presented by SWOT are vast, but extensive and geographically diverse ...

Analysis and Accuracy Assessment of a New Global Nearshore ICESat‐2 Bathymetric Data Product
Abstract Although designed primarily for cryospheric science objectives, NASA's ICESat‐2 satellite, which launched in 2018, quickly became recognized as the world's first spaceborne bathymetric lidar. Initially, there was no dedicated bathymetric data product for the mission, so researchers interested in using ICESat‐2 bathymetry developed their own ...

Long-term and recent changes in sea level in the Falkland Islands [PDF]
Mean sea level measurements made at Port Louis in the Falkland Islands in 1981-2, 1984 and 2009, together with values from the nearby permanent tide gauge at Port Stanley, have been compared to measurements made at Port Louis in 1842 by James Clark Ross.
