Resilience to climate change‐caused flooding—Metro Vancouver case study
River, 2022 Climate variability, together with other drivers of global change (like population growth, land‐use change, etc.), is affecting the management of floods.

River, 2022 Many slow‐moving landslides in the Three Gorges Reservoir (TGR) area exhibit episodic movement patterns in response to variations in the reservoir water level and seasonal rainfall. These landslides are typically characterized by pre‐existing shear zones

The river model of black holes [PDF]
, 2006 This paper presents an under-appreciated way to conceptualize stationary black holes, which we call the river model. The river model is mathematically sound, yet simple enough that the basic picture can be understood by non-experts.

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2012 River history is reflected in the nature of the sediments carried and deposited over time. Using examples drawn from around the world, this account illustrates how river sediments have been used to reconstruct past environmental changes at a variety of scales in time and space. Problems arising from a patchy alluvial record and from influences external

Fine‐scale damage assessment of urban flooding based on the 1D/2D coupled hydrodynamic model
River, 2023 Due to the high population density and economic property in urban environments, urban flooding can result in substantial economic losses. However, accurate urban flood modeling and assessing the associated damages are challenging due to complex urban ...

Around seven decades river course shifting and bank erosion susceptibility of river Mujnai
River, 2022 River bank erosion is a destructive fluvio‐hydrological hazard particularly inhabited flood plain of the dynamic Himalayan foreland basin. Every year during monsoonal months, morphology of the landscape is continuously modifying through the dynamic river
