Abstract Rapid and continuous urbanization has increased water demand in cities worldwide. Global assessments of urban water scarcity should be conducted using gridded hydrological information, but are hampered by the la...

Abstract Rivers shape their floodplains through meander growth and cutoffs, which reorganize channel geometry. Such threshold events are thought to limit geomorphic predictability, yet whether cutoffs alone are sufficien...

Abstract Hydrokinetic turbines are an emerging technology to supply reliable and renewable energy by harnessing kinetic energy from river or tidal flows. They are a potential alternative to current hydropower schemes tha...

Abstract Atmospheric rivers cause extreme precipitation and sustain water resources in the western United States. Their occurrence has often been attributed to extratropical cyclones. Here, we apply a recently proposed m...

Abstract Reasonable and efficient inter-basin water resources utilization is critical in alleviating water supply–demand constraints in water-scarce regions, improving rivers and lakes ecological conditions, and promot...

Abstract Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide is projected to exceed 800 ppm by 2100, yet its impact on acid mine drainage (AMD), which is currently contaminating 480,000 km of rivers, remains unclear. Here we combine a g...
