Floods occur when the volume of water exceeds the capacity of containment or the normal flow of water channels, such as rivers, lakes, canals, or drainage systems. In 2021 and 2022, there were 88 flood disasters in Semar...

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 ...

ABSTRACT Background: Climate change and widespread environmental degradation have increased the risk of natural hazards in recent decades. Hydrological, meteorological, and climatological disasters have become more frequ...

Abstract The present work reviews the epidemiologic situation of Anaplasma marginale and Babesia spp. infections and the occurrence of cattle tick fever outbreaks in Brazil. In areas of tick fever enzootic instability, e...

Situated in the Algerian Sahara, the M’zab Valley is a limestone plateau crisscrossed by intricate branching ravines, earning it the Arabic name šabka (‘network’). This region is characterised by long periods of ...

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 ...

Agricultural production is vital for income and food security in rural areas. However, in Manyaran District, Wonogiri Regency's rice farming livelihoods are increasingly threatened by climate change, environmental pressu...

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...

En el arroyo Sauce Corto [SC] eventos de origen hidrometeorológico generan crecidas que recurrentemente derivan en inundaciones cuyos efectos inciden en las principales poblaciones del partido de Coronel Suárez. Los es...

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...

A brief review of the El Niño/Southern Oscillation and Atlantic Dipole phenomena has been made with relation to their impacts on Brazil, especially in the northern North-east Brazil (NEB). Anomalies in rainfall are main...
