FloodUnet: A Rapid Spatio‐Temporal Prediction Model for Flood Evolution Based on an Enhanced U‐Net

Water Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Flooding causes significant loss of life and economic damage and affects healthy development of society. Deep learning (DL) models demonstrate significant advantages in improving computational efficiency while maintaining accuracy. Existing research of predicting dynamic flood evolution still remains some gaps for predicting flooding maps from

A fundamental trade‐off among resilience, resistance, efficiency, and redundancy in tidal wetlands

Ecology, Volume 107, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract In an era of change, the survival and adaptability of ecosystems will be tested. An optimal ecosystem would be both resistant and resilient to negative disturbance but also efficient and redundant in its growth when given positive subsidies. However, initial evidence has suggested that these properties cannot all be maximized at the same time,

Local models for rainstorm-induced hazard analysis on Mediterranean river-torrential geomorphological systems [PDF]

, 2004
Damaging hydrogeomorphological events are defined as one or more simultaneous phenomena (e.g. accelerated erosions, landslides, flash floods and river floods), occurring in a spatially and temporal random way and triggered by rainfall with different ...

Navigating Climate Governance: Intersectional Youth Visions of Just Urban Adaptation

Geo: Geography and Environment, Volume 13, Issue 1, January/June 2026.
Short Abstract This manuscript explores how young women and gender‐diverse youth experience barriers, shaped by age, gender identity and ethnicity, in urban climate adaptation governance in Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand. It argues for transformative, intersectional approaches to climate justice, emphasising inclusive community governance, systemic ...

An Improved UNet3+ for Efficient Building Extraction in Typical Villages of the Hehuang Valley, Qinghai

IET Image Processing, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.
This study proposes an efficient building extraction method based on an improved UNet3+ model. In this study, we systematically compared classic semantic segmentation models such as PSPNet, DeepLabV3+, and the U‐Net series, and selected UNet3+ as the base model.
