Abstract Beach erosion represents a major hazard to coastal regions worldwide, yet the role of fluvial floods remains an understudied component of beach dynamics. Accounting for fluvial flooding is essential, as its negl...

Abstract Globally groundwater depletion threatens water security with aquifer storage declining at 300 km³/year. Climate change intensifies flood frequency and magnitude causing agricultural and other losses. Punjab, I...

Abstract Microplastic pollution in freshwater is a global concern, yet field monitoring often lacks standardization, hindering data comparability and analysis. This systematic review bridges the gap between lab findings ...

Abstract The increasing frequency of natural hazards, intensified by climate change, poses substantial challenges to sustainable development worldwide. Northern Pakistan, particularly the Hunza district, is highly suscep...

Climate change and human impact are increasing the frequency and severity of flooding, making real-time, accurate simulation of mountainous flood inundation an urgent necessity. In this study, we developed a proxy model ...

Floods are among the most disastrous environmental hazards, causing devastating tangible and intangible impacts. The psychological impact, which can be classified as intangible damage, is a crucial part of well-being ass...

Climate change poses significant challenges to agriculture globally, impacting crop yields and food security. Nigeria is highly climate-vulnerable, with over 70% of livelihoods rain-fed, increasing exposure to floods, dr...

Extreme hydrometeorological events are an increasing concern in Central Europe, particularly in the European Alps, where they pose significant threats to ecological and socio-economic systems. Risk assessment and managem...

Rheophytes are plant species that are confined to the beds of swift-running streams and rivers and grow there up to flood level, but not beyond the reach of regularly occurring flash floods. Little is known about this gr...

Amid growing water crises, climate change, and intensified human activities, there is an urgent need to assess water conditions from an ecological perspective. This study evaluated Water Security with an Ecological Lens ...

Floods are one of the most frequent and damaging natural hazards in Malaysia, especially in low-lying places, such as Batu Pahat and Johor. National flood monitoring systems, such as InfoBanjir and Malaysian Meteorologic...

The integration of underutilised orphan crops into food systems can reduce the reliance on major crops for global food security and support adaptation to climate change. Major crops are increasingly susceptible to climat...

Abstract Glacier retreat transforms landscapes in polar and mountainous regions. Yet, the topography of the emerging terrain remains poorly known. Here, we present a physically consistent, global map of the ice-covered t...

Abstract Background Climate change has caused more frequent and severe extreme weather events, threatening health system resilience worldwide. In April and May 2024, Kenya experienced unprecedented extensive floods with ...

Background: Climate change increasingly shapes development outcomes, necessitating its integration into evaluation processes. In Africa, recurrent droughts, floods and temperature extremes disrupt progress across sector...

Bangladesh is highly susceptible to recurrent and devastating floods due to its geographic location. This research investigates the application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in developing flood evacuation route...

In the context of global climate change and rapid urbanization, floods caused by extreme rainstorms in Chinese cities have been on the rise. Consequently, urban flood risks evolve into a systematic threat to urban safety...

Abstract Background Floods are among the most frequent and destructive natural disasters worldwide, and India remains one of the most affected countries. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common and enduring psy...

Abstract Future flood dynamics in a lowland karst catchment draining into Galway Bay, Ireland, have been assessed under climate-change scenarios. Bayesian neural network model (BNN) was calibrated on 1980–2015 observat...

Flood disasters, with high suddenness, wide impact and severe consequences, severely threaten ecological security, human lives, property and socioeconomic development. Optical remote sensing, though advantageous in spati...

Arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs) like Marsabit and Isiolo Counties in Kenya face significant water scarcity, necessitating accurate mapping of surface water resources. Even with mostly dry and arid conditions in these re...

Abstract Historical weather journals from across Canada, spanning 1768–1884, have been transcribed from handwritten records into machine readable formats. The NORTHERN (Nineteenth-century Overseas Records Transcribed f...

Abstract Tropical cyclone (TC) rainfall, which is typically more intense over the ocean, has increasingly caused devastating floods in coastal regions in recent decades. Regions beyond 100 km inland from coastlines oft...
