Development of Next‐Generation Flood Inundation Maps: A Case Study in Kaohsiung City, Taiwan
ABSTRACT Flood inundation mapping has become a critical reference for flood risk management, particularly for determining insurance premiums and formulating mitigation strategies in rapidly urbanizing areas with high population density. With recent advancements in mapping technologies and high computing capacity, high‐resolution spatiotemporal datasets

ABSTRACT Floods are among the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in India, particularly affecting low‐lying urban areas in the eastern regions such as Cuttack, Odisha. This study aims to develop a flood hazard susceptibility map for the Cuttack district in Odisha, India, using a combined Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and fuzzy logic ...

ABSTRACT When estimating future flood events using a global hydrological model (GHM), the large uncertainties associated with general circulation models (GCMs) and bias in the GHM model pose significant challenges. In the meantime, most future flood estimations are conducted only at specific gauge stations due to limited data availability and are ...

Hydrologic Whiplash in the Mississippi River Basin: Mechanisms and Projections
Abstract Volatility and unpredictability of hydroclimate systems stresses planning and risk management. Notably, the rapid transition between periods of high and low streamflow, known as hydrologic whiplash, is gaining attention worldwide. Yet the specific mechanisms driving hydrologic whiplash events, and how they differ from singular events, remain ...

Quantifying the Rapid Propagation of Rainfall and Evapotranspiration Signals Into Soils
Abstract Precipitation and evapotranspiration are major drivers of soil moisture dynamics, which in turn influence plant water availability, biogeochemical reactions, and trace gas emissions. However, it has been unclear whether evapotranspiration signals propagate through soil columns differently than precipitation signals do.

Hydrology, sediment transport dynamics and geomorphology of a variable flow river : the Mfolozi River, South Africa [PDF]
The co-efficient of variation for inter-annual streamflow of the Mfolozi River is extremely high at 79%. An analysis of flow frequency indicated that streamflow is skewed towards low-flow values, with a number of extremely large flood events occurring as

Current Protections and Future Threats to Say's Spiketail Habitat in the Southeastern USA
Dragonflies and damselflies are important indicators of ecological integrity and environmental quality but remain underrepresented in conservation efforts, in part due to a lack of quantitative information regarding their habitat requirements. Species distribution models (SDMs) can facilitate conservation planning by allowing researchers to estimate ...
