From Prediction to Prevention: An Explainable GeoAI Framework for Flood Susceptibility and Urban Exposure Assessment Using Machine and Deep Learning Models

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rapid urbanisation and intensifying rainfall have increased cities' vulnerability to flooding, posing major challenges to sustainable development. Although machine learning models have improved flood prediction accuracy, most remain limited by their black‐box nature and lack of actionable insights.

Intersex Across the Interstellar: The Andromeda Constellation in Medieval and Early Modern Astronomical and Astrological Treatises

Renaissance Studies, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the iconography of the Andromeda constellation as an intersex figure within medieval and early modern astrological traditions. It focuses on the origins of this imagery in the thirteenth‐century astrological writings of Scot and its reappearance nearly three centuries later in Ratdolt's illustrated 1482 edition of Hyginus'

Why Are Physics‐Based Models Taking so Long to Run?

Perspectives of Earth and Space Scientists, Volume 7, Issue 1, December 2026.
Abstract Physics‐based models provide a reliable and interpretable framework based on established physical laws, allowing them to deal with unforeseen future conditions much better than statistical data‐driven methods. Physics‐based models in Earth science (e.g., climate models, hydrological models, and groundwater models) are commonly used for ...

Application of the HEC‐RAS and HEC‐HMS Models for Flood Risk Analysis in the Gumara River, Upper Blue Nile Basin, Ethiopia

Advances in Meteorology
In terms of socioeconomic damage, floods are one of the most destructive natural disasters. However, by conducting flood modeling prior to an event, their impacts can be mitigated and better managed.

Determination of Flood Inuandation Areas in the City of Bingöl (Turkey) Using Geographic Information Systems and HEC-RAS

Doğal Afetler ve Çevre Dergisi, 2020
Flood is among the most common natural disasters in Turkey. For this reason, it is very important to determine the flood spreading areas in advance, to reduce the flood risk and to ensure the safety of life and property accordingly.

Comprehensive Analysis for the Evaluation of Torrential Floods and Slope Stability of River Channels: La China River Area (Colombia)

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 3, September 2026.
Colombia and other tropical regions face a very high threat from torrential floods, which have resulted in over 25,000 deaths in a single event. Unfortunately, there is no comprehensive assessment methodology to zone and determine the magnitude of these disasters; therefore, this research aims to help fill this gap.

Assessing the Implication of Climate Change to Forecast Future Flood Using SWAT and HEC-RAS Model under CMIP5 Climate Projection in Upper Nan Watershed, Thailand

Sustainability, 2023
Climate change will affect Southeast Asian countries, particularly Thailand. There are still insufficient studies on rainfall, streamflow, and future floods in the Upper Nan Watershed, northern Thailand. This study examined how future climate change will
