Reviewing the Levee Effect: From Theory to Practice

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Ongoing development in flood‐prone areas has intensified focus on flood‐risk management strategies. Constructed flood protections, like levees, lead to a false sense of security. Resulting development behind levees paradoxically increases flood risk, referred to as the levee effect.

Regional Flood Emergency Capacity Assessment Based on a Multidimensional Framework

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Knowing the status of emergency capacity for disaster risk reduction helps the government and stakeholders to minimize vulnerabilities and disaster risk. However, there is no widely applied methodology for emergency capacity assessment. This study develops a multidimensional framework integrating vulnerability, susceptibility, and adaptability

Reduction of Rainfall During Tropical Cyclone Passage by Kuroshio Large Meander: A Case Study of Tropical Cyclone Talas (2011)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Tropical cyclone (TC) intensity and associated rainfall depend on sea surface temperature (SST). SSTs in southern Japan, which are often hit by TCs, are likely influenced by the path of the Kuroshio. During the Kuroshio large meander (KLM), Kuroshio creates a coexistence of local warm and cold SST anomalies near the Japanese coast.

Asynchronous Landslide Seasonality Across the United States

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 9, 16 May 2026.
Abstract Mid‐range landslide outlooks can facilitate weather‐related landslide preparedness and disaster response planning, but seasonal landslide activity remains poorly quantified at continental scales. Leveraging >55,000 reported landslides from across the United States (U.S.), we used circular statistics to quantify landslide seasonality in 67 ...
