Mapping Philadelphia's Floodscape: A 35‐Year Analysis of Coastal Urban Flood Hazards and Drivers

open access: yesEarth's Future, Volume 14, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Low‐lying coastal urban cities face significant flooding risks from river flooding (fluvial), storm surges and high tides (coastal), and intense local rainfall (pluvial). Accurately assessing these hazards requires modeling frameworks capable of capturing both the individual and combined effects of multiple flood drivers, as well as the ...

Using combined prediction models to quantify and visualize stormwater runoff in an urban watershed [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Stormwater runoff can transport nutrients, sediments, chemicals, and pathogens to surface waterbodies. Managing runoff is crucial to preserving water quality in rapidly developing urban watersheds like those in Northwest Arkansas.

Large Streamflow Differences Between Forested and Urbanized Watersheds in the Energy‐Limited Eastern United States: The Role of Evapotranspiration and Impervious Surfaces

open access: yesWater Resources Research, Volume 62, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract Urban forests and other green infrastructures have been viewed as part of the “Nature‐based Solutions” (NbS) to mitigate emerging urban environmental change. This study focuses on the role of evapotranspiration (ET) in regulating water balances of small watersheds in the eastern United States.

Food webs on green roofs are unique but less robust than their ground‐level counterparts

open access: yesJournal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 2, February 2026.
Green roofs operate as distinct habitats, offering novel environmental conditions, thus increasing urban habitat diversity and supporting denser but less robust food webs compared with ground‐level habitats. Increasing substrate depth and allowing for long‐term development can promote trophic diversity and robustness, informing strategies for urban ...

Wilmington gray to blue [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Wilmington is situated on the divide of two major watersheds, the Cape Fear River and the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway. All surface waters in Wilmington drain to one of these two water bodies and are divided into two groups: tidal creeks and Cape Fear ...

Use of Microbial Biofilms to Assess Groundwater Quality in Karstic Ecosystems

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 2, February 2026.
Analyses of prokaryotic diversity and community structures of biofilms showed variations linked to the nutrient and organic matter conditions in the studied karstic stations. Biofilms developed on artificial substrates appeared as promising indicators to assess groundwater quality in karst.

Our Changing Climate Is Presenting Major Challenges to the Great Lakes Region

open access: yesJAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 1, February 2026.
ABSTRACT The Earth's climate, including that of North America, is changing rapidly and the corresponding changes in temperature, precipitation, extreme weather, and other effects are accelerating. This changing climate is affecting the region around the Great Lakes and the physical behavior of the Great Lakes themselves, presenting new challenges to ...
