Data-driven approach to spatiotemporal dynamic risk assessment of urban flooding based on shared socio-economic pathways

Ecological Indicators, 2023
Driven by the change in intense land use and land cover (LULC) due to fast urbanization, urban flooding events have become the most frequent and influential hazards over the last few decades. Accurately predicting possible flood-prone locations under the

Effect of urban subsurface spatial pattern on community-scale flooding processes via numerical simulation

Shui kexue jinzhan, 2022
To investigate the effect of the spatial pattern of urban subsurface on flooding processes at the community scale, eight different spatial patterns of urban subsurface at the community scale are constructed and the corresponding numerical models of urban
