Disastrous floods have caused millions of fatalities in the twentieth century, tens of billions of
dollars of direct economic loss each year and serious disruption to global trade. In this …

There has been a surprisingly large number of major floods in the last years around the
world, which suggests that floods may have increased and will continue to increase in the …

Despite evidence of increasing precipitation extremes, corresponding evidence for
increases in flooding remains elusive. If anything, flood magnitudes are decreasing despite …

Frequency and duration of floods are analyzed using the global flood database of the
Dartmouth Flood Observatory (DFO) to explore evidence of trends during 1985–2015 at …

We live in a world where biophysical and social processes are tightly coupled. Hydrologic
systems change in response to a variety of natural and human forces such as climate …

Due to difficulties in identifying a climate change signal in flood magnitude, it has been
suggested that shifts in flood timing, that is, the day of annual streamflow maxima, may be …

Abstract An all‐season East Asia Atmospheric River (EA AR) catalog is constructed based
on PanLu2. 0. The annual cycle of EA AR exhibits eight stages, synchronizing with the …

Unexpected incidents, failures, and disasters are abundant in the history of flooding events.
In this paper, we introduce the metaphors of terra incognita and terra maligna to illustrate …

In recent years, climatology, variability, hydrological impact, and climatic drivers of
atmospheric rivers (ARs) are widely explored based on various AR identification algorithms …

Flooding is a major natural hazard that poses serious threats to lives and property safety, but
changes in the multidimensional behavior of global floods (magnitude, frequency, and …
