(Not) Covering Climate Risks: A Multimodal News Framing Analysis of Soil Health Reporting in the UK Press

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract Risks to soil health from increased flooding and drought due to climate change are a priority risk area for the UK government, but our analysis of two years of UK newspaper coverage on this issue reveals very little attention to it. Our multimodal framing analysis shows that news reports are largely devoid of addressing the root causes ...

Optimizing LID Practices in the Genoa Urban Drainage System Based on the Community's Call for Action Through Participatory Mapping

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper presents a novel methodology for optimizing installation of low impact development practices (LIDs) in an urban hydrological catchment. This methodology helps stakeholders in deciding on what kind and area of LID must be installed in each sub‐catchment to attenuate pluvial flooding as a result of intense rain events.

An Integrated Approach to Determine Appropriate Stormwater Management Strategies for Urban Areas With Various Land‐Uses: The Case of Güneysu

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT This study focuses on a multi‐criteria decision‐making (MCDM) analysis backed by EPA's SWMM (storm water management model) to investigate stormwater management (SM) strategies for urban areas consisting of different land‐use types. Güneysu city center (Rize, Türkiye) is used to exemplify areas consisting of impermeable surfaces, blocks of ...

Do Storm Characteristics Affect Urban Flood and Its Control? Assessment of Urban Drainage System Considering Rainfall Spatial Variability

Journal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
ABSTRACT The interaction between rainfall spatial–temporal variability and watershed response has been extensively studied in recent decades. Due to the influence of spatiotemporal non‐uniformity and variability in urban rainfall processes, the urban drainage system can exhibit different capabilities of handling flood risk.
