Advancing the mapping of vegetation structure in savannas using Sentinel‐1 imagery
Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.As vegetation structure monitoring is important for the understanding and conservation of savanna ecosystems, we explored the utility of C‐band synthetic aperture radar imagery for mapping both grassland and woody vegetation structure in the Greater Serengeti‐Mara Ecosystem.

RURALIZATION FOR WATER RESOURCES MANAGEMENT IN URBAN AREA REVISITED
Revista Geográfica Acadêmica, 2021 The present study briefly evaluated the history of institutional and scientific aspects involving hydrology. In this evaluation, it is observed that hydrology is increasingly closer to society, discussing the interactions between society and ...

Hydrological sciences and water security: An overview [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Association of Hydrological Sciences, 2015 This paper provides an introduction to the concepts of water security including not only the risks to human wellbeing posed by floods and droughts, but also the threats of inadequate supply of water in both quantity and quality for food production, human

Remote Sensing, 2020 Built-up land in floodplains (BLF) is a driver and a disaster-bearing body of flood risk from a socio-hydrological perspective. The relationship between BLF growth and flood vulnerability is the key to understanding and managing flood risk.

Effectiveness of novel hybrid mangrove living shorelines is context dependent
Journal of Applied Ecology, EarlyView.Our study highlights that the effectiveness of hybrid planting techniques is highly context dependent. The loss or absence of mangroves and other vegetative species may result in processes that challenge mangrove survival, in which the planting pods may not be able to overcome.

Socio‐hydrology and hydrosocial analysis: toward dialogues across disciplines [PDF]
WIREs Water, 2016 In this study, we review the ways in which water has recently been conceptualized by both natural and social scientists as either hydro‐social or socio‐hydrological. We do this in order to discuss whether and how they can be compatible, in order to enable dialogue across disciplines that seek to address the ecological and social challenges related to ...

Reimagining urban design of stormwater infrastructure in settler‐colonial Sydney
Geographical Research, EarlyView.This article draws on archival material and field site visits to question the importance that settler‐colonial urban design has had in shaping contemporary ways of thinking about watery spaces. Considering the Tank Stream, I examine the embedded hydro‐imperial characteristics that these infrastructures still hold.

Migrating sands: Refocusing transboundary flows from water to sediment
Area, EarlyView.Short Abstract Many transboundary river systems focus heavily on flows of water, with less consideration for flows of sediment. Here, it is argued that the two distinct natural cycles of water and sediment necessitate a rebalancing of transboundary cooperation frameworks to place water and sediment on an equal footing.
