Accurate hydrological understanding and water cycle prediction are crucial for addressing
scientific and societal challenges associated with the management of water resources …

Topography affects the distribution and movement of water on Earth, yet new insights about
topographic controls continue to surprise us and exciting puzzles remain. Here we combine …

River floods are generated by various processes that, if disregarded, may induce errors in
flood hazard assessment. This is particularly relevant where events extraordinarily larger …

A higher chance of extreme floods is often revealed by a probability distribution with a
slower decay and a heavier tail. There are numerous and conflicting findings in previous …

Abstract Study region Great Britain. Study focus National-scale grid-based hydrological
models are usually run at fine spatial and temporal resolutions, but driving data are often not …

The ability to characterize hydrologically relevant differences between places is at the core
of our science. A common way to quantitatively characterize hydrological catchments is …

Regional floods result from various flood generation mechanisms. Traditional analyses
mainly link flooding to extreme rainfall, with limited input from soil moisture. Total water …

The interactions and collective impacts of different types of hazards within a compound
hazard system, along with the influence of geographical covariates on flooding are presently …

Mountain topography alters the phase, amount, and spatial distribution of precipitation. Past
efforts focused on how orographic precipitation can alter spatial patterns in mean runoff, with …

Many observed time series of precipitation and streamflow show heavy-tail behaviour. For
heavy-tailed distributions, the occurrence of extreme events has a higher probability than for …
