Forest Hydrology, Soil Conservation and Green Barriers in Canary Islands [PDF]

, 2012
In volcanic islands, the rainfall regime and its torrential nature, together with the steep slopes and the soil types present are considered to be some of the main factors affecting forest hydrology and soil conservation.

How will climate change influence phosphorus systems? An expert elicitation approach

Journal of Environmental Quality, Volume 55, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
Abstract Phosphorus (P) sustainability is a “wicked problem,” due to complex environmental and societal challenges. This will be further exacerbated by climate change, although interdisciplinary evidence on effects and adaptation are lacking.

Assessing the impact of land use patterns on rain-flood risk in high-density urban centers: a SCS-CN model-based approach

Frontiers in Environmental Science
In this paper, we employ an enhanced watershed division method and the establishment of stormwater corridors, in conjunction with the SCS-CN model, to quantitatively assess flood disasters under varying rainstorm intensities in the central city of ...

Dynamic Vulnerability Analysis of Population for Flood Disaster in Urban Area [PDF]

Journal of Risk Analysis and Crisis Response (JRACR), 2013
Vulnerability analysis is a key step of risk analysis of natural disaster. Based on information diffusion theory and incomplete information, it analyzes the changes of the affected population in urban flood and identifies the function relationship ...

Landslide Character and Hydrological Thresholds for Slope Failure Initiation on Volcanic Scoria Slopes: Case Study From Mt Hobson/Ōhinerau, Auckland, New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Rainfall‐induced landslides involving on Auckland Volcanic Field scoria cones are highly unusual, compared with widespread landsliding in the surrounding Auckland clay‐rich residual soils. Indeed, while Auckland can suffer from thousands of rainfall‐induced shallow landslides from severe storms at subdecadal timescales, these are usually limited to ...

Landscape Changes in the Kitchener Avalanche Path, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park After the Record‐Breaking July 2022 Storm

New Zealand Journal of Geology and Geophysics, Volume 69, Issue 1, March 2026.
Three‐dimensional landscape changes were investigated in the Kitchener Avalanche Path, Aoraki/Mount Cook National Park, New Zealand, after an extreme storm in July 2022. The Path features an earthen diversion berm constructed in 2018 to mitigate the risk of avalanches to the adjacent Aoraki/Mount Cook Village.
