Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Urban pluvial flooding is often summarized by peak depth, peak extent, or cumulative burden, but these metrics do not distinguish when flooding first becomes hazardous from when the hazardous area becomes largest. This study introduces an activation–occupancy framework to quantify these two times and applies it to building‐resolving shallow ...

Earth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract The Laurentian Great Lakes are undergoing rapid winter transformations, with profound implications for human societies. Winter air temperatures have increased, accelerating ice loss since the mid‐1990s. These trends are altering thermal regimes, shifting precipitation from snow to rain, and increasing winter runoff and nutrient fluxes, with ...

Hydrological Controls of Methane Uptake in Biochar‐Amended Native Vegetation Green Roof Substrates
GCB Bioenergy, Volume 18, Issue 11, November 2026.Four years of field measurements showed that biochar amendment consistently enhanced atmospheric methane (CH4) uptake in high‐organic native green roof substrates. Biochar‐mediated changes in substrate moisture and gas exchange strengthened CH4 consumption, demonstrating biochar‐amended green roofs as a nature‐based strategy for enhancing urban CH4 ...

STORMWATER RUNOFF MITIGATION AND WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS THROUGH THE USE A GREEN ROOF IN PITTSBURGH, PA [PDF]
, 2007 A green roof was constructed in Pittsburgh, PA to help reduce combined sewer overflows (CSOs) events. They occur because the sewer infrastructure of Pittsburgh, and many older cities, is inadequately designed to handle the large amounts of stormwater ...

Runoff Quantity Dynamic from an Extensive Green Roof during Individual Rainstorms
, 2011 This study evaluates the influence of an extensive green roof on runoff quantity dynamic during individual rainstorms in Central China. Controlled experiments on a simulated extensive green-roof plot were carried out firstly to produce a unit hydrograph (
