Roughness in the earth sciences

MW Smith - Earth-Science Reviews, 2014 - Elsevier
Rough surfaces are ubiquitous in nature. Near-surface processes both encounter and create
surface roughness. Recent advances in surveying have improved the resolution, extent and …

Urbanization impacts on flood risks based on urban growth data and coupled flood models

B Feng, Y Zhang, R Bourke - Natural Hazards, 2021 - Springer
Urbanization increases regional impervious surface area, which generally reduces
hydrologic response time and therefore increases flood risk. The objective of this work is to …
