Wildfire‐Induced Enhancement in Downstream Flood Discharge in Watersheds of California

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Global climate change is increasingly associated with the prevalence of extreme precipitation and large wildfires. The influence of large wildfires on downstream flood discharge is concerning, particularly from a flood risk management perspective, where understanding the impact at a watershed scale is still fairly limited.

Integrated Modeling Driven Evaluation of Opportunities for Climate‐Resilient Perennial Biomass Crop Plantings in Flood‐Prone Agricultural Landscapes

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Adapting to future climate change in flood‐prone landscapes will require climate‐resilient agricultural systems. Planting perennial crops, like switchgrass and willow, along river corridors can mitigate future flooding while supporting bioenergy markets.

Using Storage Ponds in Natural Flood Management Schemes in Practice: The Need for Fine‐Tuning and Upscaling

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT There is increasing interest in installing water storage ponds as part of natural flood management (NFM) approaches being implemented globally. Despite decades of experience with constructing flood storage ponds within civil engineering disciplines, there remains little empirical evidence of their effectiveness in NFM.

What Has Rainfall Got to Do With It? Landscape Antecedent Conditions Have a First Order Effect on Flood Inundation Extent in the Hawkesbury‐Nepean Valley

open access: yesJournal of Flood Risk Management, Volume 18, Issue 2, June 2025.
ABSTRACT The Hawkesbury‐Nepean valley has a long history of hazardous flooding dating back to when records began, in the 18th century. It is one of the largest coastal basins in the eastern Australian region and supports a large population, agriculture, and industry, as well as being an important environmental asset.
