DOI: 10.1002/2017gl076935
Abstract: River flooding—the world’s most significant natural hazard—is likely to increase under anthropogenic climate change. Most large rivers have been regulated by damming, but the extent to which these impoundments can mitigate extreme flooding remains uncertain.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ecs2.70440
Abstract: Effects of large‐scale flooding on forest composition and structure are a function of flood duration, depth, timing, and frequency. Throughout the Upper Mississippi River System (UMRS), floods in 1993 and 2019 were record‐setting events followed… read more here.

Climate‐change driven increased flood magnitudes and frequency in the British uplands: geomorphologically informed scientific underpinning for upland flood‐risk management
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Earth Surface Processes and Landforms"
DOI: 10.1002/esp.5206
Abstract: Upland river systems in the UK are predicted to be prone to the effects of increased flood magnitudes and frequency, driven by climate change. It is clear from recent events that some headwater catchments can… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/esp.5847
Abstract: Ephemeral alluvial streams pose globally significant flood hazards to human habitation in drylands, but sparse data for these regions limit understanding of the character and impacts of extreme flooding. In this study, we document decadal… read more here.

Trajectories of river‐floodplain morphology and hydraulics following compounding wildfire‐flood disturbances

DOI: 10.1002/esp.70057
Abstract: Wide, low‐gradient segments within river networks (i.e., beads) play a critical role in absorbing and morphologically adapting to disturbances, including wildfires and debris flows. However, the magnitude and rate of morphological adjustment and subsequent hydraulic… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/met.1779
Abstract: Continuous urban development significantly transforms the ecosystem in a big city. The increasing frequency of heat waves and their influence on the rise in mortality in big cities suggest that the thermal hazard (long‐term occurrence… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/met.70113
Abstract: Under the background of climate change, extreme weather events are apparently becoming more frequent. In Hong Kong, a record‐breaking ‘Black’ Rainstorm on 7–8 September 2023 brought widespread flooding and caused landslides, paralysing the entire community.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/nme.5702
Abstract: This study proposes a framework for uncertainty analysis by incorporating explicit numerical solutions of governing equations for flood wave propagation with the expectation operator. It aims at effectively evaluating the effect of variations in initial… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/qj.3449
Abstract: In October 2000, a high‐impact lake flood event occurred in southern Switzerland. During the month prior to the flood event three heavy precipitation events (HPEs) occurred. The first two events preconditioned the catchment and brought… read more here.

Communicating (nature‐based) flood‐mitigation schemes using flood‐excess volume

DOI: 10.1002/rra.3507
Abstract: As interest mounts in nature‐based solutions (NBS) for flood mitigation as complementary options to civil‐engineering measures, possible flood‐protection strategies have become more diverse and hence complicated to assess. We offer a straightforward and educational protocol… read more here.
