Quantification of flash flood peaks using computer simulation for potential hill torrents of Pakistan: A modeling study

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigates rainfall runoff behavior of five major torrential Nullahs' of Dera Ghazi Khan (D. G. Khan) for flash flood events. The integration, and fusion of satellite‐based meteorological, topographical, and pedo‐transferred function's (PTF) derived soil hydraulic datasets at 250 m grid size substantially proves a viable approach ...

Integrated hydrologic and hydrodynamic modeling for flood hazard assessment in Ajay River Basin, West Bengal, India

open access: yesRiver, EarlyView.
Abstract The Ajay River, originating from the Chotanagpur Plateau (Bihar) and flowing through Jharkhand into West Bengal before merging with the Bhagirathi‐Hugli near Katwa, is among the most flood‐prone rivers in the region. Its lower reaches frequently experience rainfall‐induced flooding and embankment breaches during the mid‐ to late‐monsoon season.

Isolation, Insularity and Resilience: A Review of the Geophysical, Socioeconomic, and Environmental Vulnerabilities of Gran Canaria and Lesvos Islands for Policy Interventions to Global Change

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The dynamic nature of small islands being geographically isolated and their perceived connectedness with global networks complicates research attempts to draw general conclusions on whether insularity leads to marginalization or strengthens their resilience for sustainable development.

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

open access: yesSustainable 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.

Can Environmental Markets Pay for More Sustainable Farm Dams? A Cost–Benefit Analysis

open access: yesSustainable Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Farm dams are widespread artificial waterbodies that play a critical role in agricultural water security. Enhancing these systems through sustainable interventions such as fencing, hardened access points, and revegetation can improve water quality and deliver carbon and biodiversity co‐benefits.

Global Warming and Mass Extinctions Associated With Large Igneous Province Volcanism

open access: yesGeophysical Monograph Series, Page 83-102., 2021

Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact

An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.
