Automated machine learning recognition to diagnose flood resilience of railway switches and crossings
The increase in demand for railway transportation results in a significant need for higher train axle load and faster speed. Weak and sensitive...

Spatio-temporal evaluation of the emergency capacity of the cross-regional rain-flood disaster in the Yangtze River Economic Belt in China
This paper assesses the emergency capacity of rain-flood disaster in provinces along the Yangtze River Economic Belt (YREB), China, from 2013 to...

Development of novel hybridized models for urban flood susceptibility map**
Floods in urban environments often result in loss of life and destruction of property, with many negative socio-economic effects. However, the...
-
Climate change impact on flood and extreme precipitation increases with water availability
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the...

Baseflow significantly contributes to river floods in Peninsular India
Extreme rainfall prior to a flood event is often a necessary condition for its occurrence; however, rainfall alone is not always an indicator of...

The Global Flood Protection Benefits of Mangroves
Coastal flood risks are rising rapidly. We provide high resolution estimates of the economic value of mangroves forests for flood risk reduction...
-
Economic motivation for raising coastal flood defenses in Europe
Extreme sea levels (ESLs) in Europe could rise by as much as one metre or more by the end of this century due to climate change. This poses...

High-resolution impact-based early warning system for riverine flooding
Despite considerable advances in flood forecasting during recent decades, state-of-the-art, operational flood early warning systems (FEWS) need to be...

Linking the Wrangellia flood basalts to the Galápagos hotspot
The Triassic volcanic rocks of Wrangellia erupted at an equatorial to tropical latitude that was within 3000 km of western North America. The mafic...

A network percolation-based contagion model of flood propagation and recession in urban road networks
In this study, we propose a contagion model as a simple and powerful mathematical approach for predicting the spatial spread and temporal evolution...
-
Nonstationary flood coincidence risk analysis using time-varying copula functions
The coincidence of flood flows in a mainstream and its tributaries may lead to catastrophic floods. In this paper, we investigated the flood...

Comparison of dynamic flow interaction methods between pipe system and overland in urban flood analysis
Urban flooding can be predicted by using different modeling approaches. This study considered different methods of modeling the dynamic flow...
-
Self-organizing maps of typhoon tracks allow for flood forecasts up to two days in advance
Typhoons are among the greatest natural hazards along East Asian coasts. Typhoon-related precipitation can produce flooding that is often only...
