Comparative Effectiveness and Future Viability of Flood Control Adaptation Measures Under a Changing Climate and a Declining Population

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Adaptation measures play a crucial role in mitigating the increasing severity of flood disasters driven by climate change. While various strategies are implemented globally, their geographical characteristics and long‐term effectiveness remain uncertain.

Rainstorm Flood Risk Assessment in the China–Pakistan Economic Corridor Under Different Shared Socioeconomic Pathways of the 21st Century

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Global warming has intensified the atmospheric water cycle, leading to more frequent and severe extreme precipitation events, which are a major driver of rainstorm‐induced flooding. Developing regions such as the China–Pakistan economic corridor (CPEC), spanning highly heterogeneous terrain and climate zones, face elevated risk due to limited ...

Improving Basin‐Wide Flood Estimation From a Global Hydrological Model Through Spatiotemporal‐Pattern‐Based Machine Learning

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT When estimating future flood events using a global hydrological model (GHM), the large uncertainties associated with general circulation models (GCMs) and bias in the GHM model pose significant challenges. In the meantime, most future flood estimations are conducted only at specific gauge stations due to limited data availability and are ...

Does Palsa Thaw in Northern Finland Contribute to Remobilisation of Metals Accumulated in Peat Into Surface Waters?

Land Degradation &Development, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 4230-4250, 30 May 2026.
ABSTRACT Permafrost is rapidly degrading in the sporadic zone, including palsa mires in Scandinavia. Peatlands in the area have likely accumulated heavy metals from atmospheric deposition of industrial contaminants in the wider region. As the palsa mire chemical composition is not well known, and in other permafrost regions the permafrost thaw may ...

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 5, May 2026.
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...

Geodiversity is an inseparable but underutilized aspect of ecological connectivity assessments under climate change

Ecography, Volume 2026, Issue 5, May 2026.
Conservation has shifted towards a climate change adaptation approach in which expected species range shifts are increasingly considered to mitigate effects of climate change and habitat fragmentation on biodiversity. As part of this, ecological connectivity needs to be ensured to support gene flow and viable populations in the face of changing ...

Geomorphological mapping of the state of Paraná with digital classification method of landform patterns

Revista Brasileira de Geomorfologia
The digital classification method of landform patterns that was applied in the geomorphological mapping of the State of Paraná is presented. A Digital Terrain Model (MDT) was used to obtain three variables: 1) altimetric amplitude (AA), 2) average slope

The end stage of barrier estuary infill: Insights from Jack Smith Lake, Southeastern Australia

Earth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 5, May 2026.
Infill model for the saline coastal lake estuary, Jack Smith Lake. Abstract Jack Smith Lake in southeastern Australia is an infilled saline coastal lake, disconnected from the ocean by a foredune barrier. This study explores the Holocene infill history of this estuary in order to understand the end‐stage evolution of barrier estuarine systems with ...
