Changes in Magnitude and Shifts in Timing of the Latvian River Annual Flood Peaks
Climate change is expected to significantly impact temperature and precipitation, as well as snow accumulations and melt in mid-latitudes, including in the Baltic region, ultimately affecting the quantity and seasonal distribution of streamflow.

Potential of Mussel Habitat Enhancement to Alleviate Eutrophication in Nutrient‐Enriched Estuaries
ABSTRACT Through altered freshwater flow regimes and excessive anthropogenic nutrient input, many estuaries around the world are showing signs of eutrophication. As shellfish can alleviate some of these issues through their water filtration capacity, shellfish habitat restoration efforts have increased markedly in the past decade. This study quantifies,

Channel Steepness Biases and Nonsteady Erosion in Landscapes Evolving Under Cyclical Climate
Abstract Changes in climate through time obscure tectonic signals in topography. Here, we derive expressions describing how accurately channel steepness reflects tectonics and substrate erodibility when the modern discharge proxy used to calculate channel steepness (a proxy for fluvial relief) does not equal the effective discharge defining fluvial ...

Stream Nutrient Load and Concentration Estimation From Minimal Measurements
Abstract High‐resolution measurements of nutrients in rivers are vital to assess water quality and catchment material balances. Yet, such measurements are often cost‐prohibitive. To improve sampling efficiency, data‐driven sparse sensing (DSS) is proposed to recover high‐resolution nutrient time‐series from sparse flow and concentration measurements ...

Distinct hydrologic response patterns and trends worldwide revealed by physics-embedded learning [PDF]
To track rapid changes within our water sector, Global Water Models (GWMs) need to realistically represent hydrologic systems' response patterns - such as baseflow fraction - but are hindered by their limited ability to learn from data. Here we introduce a high-resolution physics-embedded big-data-trained model as a breakthrough in reliably capturing ...

River Floods Under Wetter Antecedent Conditions Deliver Coarser Sediment to the Coast
Abstract Increasing hydrologic volatility—more extreme rain, and larger variations between wet and dry years—has become apparent in some regions, but few data exist to determine how intensifying hydrologic extremes affect sedimentary systems. Using uniquely high‐resolution records of fluvial suspended sediment and coastal morphology, we quantify ...

Ensemble quantile-based deep learning framework for streamflow and flood prediction in Australian catchments [PDF]
In recent years, climate extremes such as floods have created significant environmental and economic hazards for Australia. Deep learning methods have been promising for predicting extreme climate events; however, large flooding events present a critical challenge due to factors such as model calibration and missing data.

Evidence of Kolmogorov like scalings and multifractality in the rainfall events [PDF]
In this paper we present a detailed statistical analysis related to the characterization of the spatial and temporal fluctuations present in the rainfall patterns of North-East region ($26.05^{\circ}N-26.95^{\circ}N$, $88.05^{\circ}E-94.95^{\circ}E$) of India using half hourly rainfall data over the last 20 years for the range 2001-2020. We analyze the
