Urban flood hazard in the context of rapid urban growth in the Kathmandu Metropolitan City, Nepal

Discover Cities
The increasing complexity of urban expansion and its impact on hydrology is significant, especially in densely populated regions. We conducted this study in the Kathmandu Metropolitan City (KMC), Nepal.

Geomorphic Responses to Post‐Grazing Recovery and Stream Restoration in Semiarid Grassland Streams

River Research and Applications, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 1083-1098, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Semiarid grassland streams are sensitive to land use, climate, extreme discharges, and internal geomorphic thresholds that drive episodic erosion. Rooted in a process‐based philosophy and commonly applied to historically wood‐rich, beaver‐modified systems, low‐tech process‐based restoration using structures is increasingly being extended to ...

Strategic Roadmap for Addressing Microplastic Pollution in the Global South: Bridging Monitoring Gaps, Harmonizing Methods, and Building Analytical Capacity

Environmental Quality Management, Volume 35, Issue 4, Summer 2026.
ABSTRACT Microplastic (MP) pollution represents a growing environmental challenge, especially in tropical and subtropical coastal regions of the Global South, where methodological fragmentation, funding discontinuity, and dependence on external analytical infrastructure limit the production of comparable data and the formulation of evidence‐based ...

The Baltimore Community Weather Station Network: Filling the Urban Measurement Desert

Community Science, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Quantification and understanding of how heat, rainfall, and air quality vary within cities are needed to identify the area with the worst conditions, develop solutions to extreme weather, and assess the impact of proposed policies. However, neighborhood‐level variability is not well quantified because there are few environmental measurement ...

Amplification of Flood Hazard and Damage by Compounding Pluvial and Fluvial Flooding

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Flood risk management has traditionally treated fluvial and pluvial flooding in isolation, for example, by producing inundation maps separately for each flood type. Here, we develop an integrated modeling framework capable of capturing the interplay of both flood types when they co‐occur.

Escalating Hydroclimatic Extremes and Volatility in the UK Under 2°C and 4°C Warming

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Hydrological extremes, including both floods and droughts, are projected to intensify under global warming, yet their joint evolution and variability across temperate catchments remain underexplored. This study uses bias‐corrected regional climate projections from the UK Climate Projections 2018 (UKCP18) and a distributed HBV‐TYN hydrological ...

Classification‐Based Greenspace Exposure Assessment Reveals the Compensatory Role of Urban Cropland in Greenspace Equity

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Urban greenspace inequality has become a major sustainability challenge, yet the roles of different greenspace types in mitigating exposure inequality remain poorly understood, even as cropland is increasingly being incorporated into urban landscape thinking.

The Effects of Urbanization on Infrastructure Sustainability and Resilience in Variable Microclimates Within Arid Environments

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 6, June 2026.
Abstract Rapid urbanization significantly intensifies land surface temperature (LST), with profound implications for local climate, infrastructure sustainability, and environmental quality. The Local Climate Zones (LCZs) classification provides a standardized framework for examining urban thermal dynamics and supporting strategies to mitigate heat ...
