Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Wetlands are multifunctional systems performing as nature-based solutions (NBS) for water
management. This paper provides an overview of natural and constructed wetlands and …

Despite the recent prevalence of severe drought, California faces a broadly
underappreciated risk of severe floods. Here, we investigate the physical characteristics of …

Economic inequality is rising within many countries globally, and this can significantly
influence the social vulnerability to natural hazards. We analysed income inequality and …

Anomalies in the frequency of river floods, ie, flood-rich or-poor periods, cause biases in
flood risk estimates and thus make climate adaptation measures less efficient. While …

Levees constrain roaring floodwater but are blamed for reducing people's perception of
flood risks and promoting floodplain human settlements unprepared for high-consequence …

Climate change may systematically impact hydrometeorological processes and their
interactions, resulting in changes in flooding mechanisms. Identifying such changes is …

River floods are among the most common natural disasters worldwide, with substantial
economic and humanitarian costs. Despite enormous efforts, gauging the risk of extreme …

Flood damages are projected to increase with climate change due to intensification of
extreme rainfalls, with water scarcity also projected to increase due to longer periods of …

Conditions for trees are challenging in urban areas with a high degree of soil sealing
combined with changing climatic conditions. Stress is a primary mortality factor, especially …
