Core Ideas OZCAR is a network of sites studying the critical zone. OZCAR covers various
disciplines. OZCAR will help disciplines to work together for a better representation and …

Abstract Machine learning provides great potential for modelling hydrological variables at a
spatial resolution beyond the capabilities of physically based modelling. This study features …

Relatively few studies have so far investigated the hydrological impacts of urbanization in
Mediterranean catchments, and particularly in peri‐urban catchments experiencing …

City planners, urban innovators and researchers are increasingly working on 'future
city'initiatives to investigate the physical, social and political aspects of harmonized urban …

Thermal conductivity is a basic parameter of soil heat transferring, playing an important role
in many fields including groundwater withdrawal, ground source heat pump, and heat …

Land use is a key factor affecting water balance, which in turn affects the water resource
availability. Increasing urbanization has altered water balances in river catchments …

Climate change and intensifying agricultural production and urbanization are central factors
driving the global freshwater biodiversity decline. To design sustainable green transition …

Flowpaths are significantly affected by land use change and engineered elements across
urban catchments. Conventional GIS-based tools for extracting drainage networks were not …

Abstract Study region Oued Fez, Morocco. Study focus Urban catchments are
heterogeneous in terms of land use and have both natural and artificial drainage networks …

Urban floods cause high damages and thus mapping of flood risk is essential for protection
and evacuation planning. To obtain such mapping, hydrodynamic modelling is central …
