Every year flood events lead to thousands of casualties and significant economic damage.
Map** the areas at risk of flooding is critical to reducing these losses, yet until the last few …

As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

This paper presents a new computationally efficient hydraulic model for simulating the
spatially distributed dynamics of water surface elevation, wave speed, and inundation extent …

In this paper, a hydrologic/hydrodynamic modeling of the Amazon River basin is presented
using the MGB‐IPH model with a validation using remotely sensed observations. Moreover …

River systems connect the terrestrial biosphere, the atmosphere and the ocean in the global
carbon cycle. A recent estimate suggests that up to 3 petagrams of carbon per year could be …

The hydromorphic regimes that underpinned Old World river-based civilizations are
reviewed in light of recent research. Notable Holocene climatic changes varied from region …

River width is a fundamental parameter of river hydrodynamic simulations, but no global‐
scale river width database based on observed water bodies has yet been developed. Here …

Flood inundation modeling across large data sparse areas has been increasing in recent
years, driven by a desire to provide hazard information for a wider range of locations. The …

Coastal river deltas are susceptible to flooding from pluvial, fluvial, and coastal flood drivers.
Compound floods, which result from the co-occurrence of two or more of these drivers …

Hydrodynamic modeling of large remote forested floodplains, such as the Amazon, is
hindered by the vegetation signal contained within Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) such as …
