The 20 February 2010 Madeira flash-floods: synoptic analysis and extreme rainfall assessment [PDF]

, 2012
This study aims to characterise the rainfall exceptionality and the meteorological context of the 20 February 2010 flash-floods in Madeira (Portugal). Daily and hourly precipitation records from the available rain-gauge station networks are evaluated in ...

Forgetting and Remembering: Kenneth Cumberland and Soil Erosion in New Zealand, 1940s to 2020s

Kōtuitui: New Zealand Journal of Social Sciences Online, Volume 21, Issue 1, March 2026.
The speed and scale of landscape transformation in New Zealand was almost immediately apparent to British geographer Kenneth Cumberland on his appointment to Canterbury University College in 1938. His efforts culminated in the nationally and internationally well‐regarded book ‘Soil Erosion in New Zealand: A Geographical Reconnaissance (1944a)’, which ...

Floodplain Conservation Versus Landscape Development—How to Tackle the Multifunctional Management Issue

WIREs Water, Volume 13, Issue 2, March/April 2026.
The ability to perform a number of ecosystem functions is degraded by the inappropriate damming of agricultural floodplains (by levee construction) or by the continuous urban expansion, where flood protection is justified but at the cost of affecting the environmental stability of the wider landscape.

Rainfall modeling for integrating radar information into hydrological model [PDF]

, 2005
A spatial rainfall model was applied to radar data of air mass thunderstorms to yield a rainstorm representation as a set of convective rain cells. The modeled rainfall was used as input into hydrological model, instead of the standard radar-grid data ...

Machine Learning Emulation of Precipitation From km‐Scale UK Regional Climate Simulations Using a Diffusion Model

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract High‐resolution climate simulations are valuable for understanding climate change impacts. This has motivated use of regional convection‐permitting climate models (CPMs), but these are very computationally expensive. We present a convection‐permitting model generative emulator (CPMGEM), to skilfully emulate precipitation simulations by a 2.2 ...

Reconstruction of the 1874 Santa Tecla's rainstorm in Western Catalonia (NE Spain) from flood marks and historical accounts [PDF]

Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2010
The Santa Tecla flash flood, a very heavy event occurred in western Catalonia (NE Spain) in 1874, was reconstructed with hydraulic and hydrological modelling tools in three basins.

Monitoring Flood Inundation Dynamics From Space

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract With the increasing intensity and frequency of flood events worldwide, the need for accurate and timely inundation mapping has never been more critical. Large‐scale flood extent estimations are vital for coordinating effective disaster response, facilitating recovery, and building future resilience.
