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.

Reframing Colonial Korea's Forests Through Protection Forests: The Forests of Joseon (1938)

Berichte zur Wissenschaftsgeschichte, EarlyView.
This study examines The Forests of Joseon (1938), a forestry survey compiled by Tokumitsu Nobuyuki under Japanese colonial rule, as a key site of epistemic negotiation between imperial forestry science and Korean indigenous knowledge. Focusing on bíbo forests—geomantic forests believed to regulate energy flow between mountains and villages—the paper ...

How wildlife respond to tropical cyclones: short‐term tactics and long‐term impacts

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From butterflies to lizards and from sharks to seabirds, wildlife exhibit tactics to survive the impacts of tropical cyclones, also known as hurricanes, cyclones, or typhoons depending on where they occur. Some species seek refuge during the storm by moving, some remain in place and ride it out, and others move longer distances, avoiding the ...

Technical note: Laboratory modelling of urban flooding: strengths and challenges of distorted scale models [PDF]

Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2019
Laboratory experiments are a viable approach for improving process understanding and generating data for the validation of computational models. However, laboratory-scale models of urban flooding in street networks are often distorted, i.e.

Organizational Sensemaking Theory Perspective of Developing AI‐Driven Strategies for Sustainability Initiatives

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly being touted to assist organizations, AI integration for sustainability efforts has been limited AND sporadic and tends to follow an ad hoc strategy. The existing literature therein focuses on the technological capabilities of AI, overlooking how organizations make sense of and ...

A study on the effect of spatially variation rainfall on urban flooding

Geomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk
To overcome the limitations of traditional urban stormwater flooding simulations, which often neglect the spatial variability of rainfall distribution, a spatially variation rainfall pattern generation model based on actual rainfall data were developed ...
