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.

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.

Mapping Flood Hazard Across Mainland China Through a Physics‐Based Global Flood Model With Embedded Reservoir Operation Scheme

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT China has complex topography, diverse flood mechanisms, and high population exposure, making it highly vulnerable to flooding, highlighting the need for robust national‐scale hazard assessments to identify flood‐prone regions. However, most existing hazard studies are limited to regional scales or rely on empirical indicator‐based methods that

Dynamic Human‐Vehicle Risk Assessment for Urban Flood Evacuations in Island Cities: The MUFE Framework Applied to Haidian Island, Haikou

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Urban flood disasters demand dynamic assessment of population risk, yet most evacuation models fail to capture the multifaceted, time‐varying nature of such events. To address this gap, this study develops the modular urban flood‐evacuation (MUFE) framework, an integrated approach to dynamic urban flood risk assessment.

Revealing Deep Learning Model Preferences for Spatio‐Temporal Drivers of Runoff Forecasting: A SHAP‐Based Comparative Study

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Accurate runoff forecasting is essential for flood prediction and disaster preparedness amid increasing hydrological extremes driven by climate change. While deep learning models offer high efficiency, most interpretability studies focus on single models.

How Can FengYun—3G Satellite Precipitation Radar and Microwave Imager Unveil Multi—Phase Hydrometeors?

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 3, 16 February 2026.
Abstract The observations from Precipitation Measurement Radar (PMR) and Microwave Radiation Imager (MWRI‐RM) onboard FengYun‐3G satellite are first time utilized to derive multi‐phase hydrometeors in clouds. The FY‐3G hydrometeor retrieval algorithm utilizes the Advanced Radiative Transfer Modeling System (ARMS) as its core module. It incorporates PMR‐
