Recent advances and future challenges in urban pluvial flood modelling

Urban Water Journal
Urban pluvial floods are characterised by a number of features such as the high spatial and temporal resolution needed to capture their dynamics, the complexity of dual drainage systems and the lack of sewer data availability, which make them very ...

The evidence base for ranger patrol effectiveness in conservation and how to improve it

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ranger patrols are a cornerstone of wildlife protection efforts around the world and occur across all ecological governance systems. Evidence that patrols reduce threats to wildlife and enable their recovery has not been systematically examined previously.

Using GIS to Evaluate the Effects of Flood Risk on Residential Property Values [PDF]

, 2000
Annually, flooding causes more property damage in the United States than any other type of natural disaster. One of the consequences of continued urbanization is the tendency for floodplains to expand, increasing flood risks in the areas around urban ...

Application of a Three-Dimensional Unstructured-Mesh Finite-Element Flooding Model and Comparison with Two-Dimensional Approaches [PDF]

, 2016
Urban flood modelling plays a key role in assessment of flood risk in urban areas by providing detailed information of the flooding process (e.g. location, depth and velocity of flooding).

Causes and consequences of floods: flash floods, urban floods, river floods and coastal floods

Resources Environment and Information Engineering, 2022
Undoubtedly, the flood is known as a natural disaster. But in practice, the flood is considered the most terrible natural disaster in terms of mortality and financial losses. In this regard, a worrying trend is the increasing trend of mortality and flood damage in the world in recent decades.

Visual Sensing for Urban Flood Monitoring [PDF]

Sensors, 2015
With the increasing climatic extremes, the frequency and severity of urban flood events have intensified worldwide. In this study, image-based automated monitoring of flood formation and analyses of water level fluctuation were proposed as value-added intelligent sensing applications to turn a passive monitoring camera into a visual sensor.

Generative AI, ESG Sensemaking, and Environmental Performance: an OIPT Perspective

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite growing enthusiasm for generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in sustainability management, it remains unclear how such technologies translate vast ESG information into meaningful environmental outcomes. This study addresses this gap by investigating how ESG sensemaking capability mediates the relationship between GenAI integration

Urban Flood Risk and Resilience: How Can We Protect Our Cities from Flooding?

Hydrology
This article draws on over 40 years of the author’s experience with hydroinformatics tools for water and sustainability challenges, including flooding. It aims to spark discussion on urban flood risk and resilience rather than provide a literature review

A strategy-based framework for assessing the flood resilience of cities – the Hamburg case study [PDF]

, 2015
Climate change and continuous urbanization contribute to an increased urban vulnerability towards flooding. Only relying on traditional flood control measures is recognized as inadequate, since the damage can be catastrophic if flood controls fail.

Urban Flood Mapping

, 2017
The recent degradation of environment quality becomes the prime cause of the recent occurrence of natural disasters. It also contributes in the increase of the area that is prone to natural disasters. Flood history data in Jakarta shows that flood occurred mainly during rainy season around January – February each year, but the flood area varies each ...
