Event and Catchment Controls of Heavy Tail Behavior of Floods

Elena Macdonald et al.

Summary: The study found that in some catchments, the probability of extreme events is higher, and neglecting heavy tail behavior may lead to underestimation of extreme floods. Catchment response characteristics have the most significant impact on heavy tail behavior, followed by event precipitation, flood seasonality, and catchment size.

Levees don't protect, they disconnect: A critical review of how artificial levees impact floodplain functions

Richard L. Knox et al.

Summary: Despite recognition of floodplain importance, floodplains lack legal protection compared to river channels. This study explores the impacts of levees on floodplain functions and analyzes case studies of floodplain restoration through levee removal. The findings highlight the need for further research on floodplain functions and restoration efforts.

Socio-hydrological modeling and its issues in Japan: a case study in Naganuma District, Nagano City

Naoya Shibata et al.

Summary: The Asian monsoon and Japan's steep terrain structure make it prone to flooding, leading to the development of unique social norms for flood risk management. This study applied and examined the socio-hydrology model in Japan, specifically in the Naganuma District of Nagano City, and provided recommendations for its improvement.

Improving urban flood susceptibility mapping using transfer learning

Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: This study successfully improved the performance of urban flood susceptibility assessment models in two urban areas through transfer learning. The research indicates that transfer learning typically provides positive effects when transferring knowledge from a well pre-trained model in a data-rich catchment, but may induce negative effects if the pre-trained model has poor accuracy.

Estimating River Channel Bathymetry in Large Scale Flood Inundation Models

Jeffrey Neal et al.

Summary: The use of global flood models in data sparse areas has increased in recent years due to improvements in remote sensing and modeling capability. However, existing methods for approximating river bathymetry in these models may lead to inaccuracies and bias in simulated water surface profiles, highlighting the importance of developing more accurate estimation methods to improve model performance.

Machine-learning methods to assess the effects of a non-linear damage spectrum taking into account soil moisture on winter wheat yields in Germany

Michael Peichl et al.

Summary: Agricultural production is heavily reliant on weather conditions, making accurate weather prediction crucial. By utilizing a random forests model, it is possible to effectively predict yield anomalies in winter wheat across different regions in Germany. Monitoring soil moisture and extreme meteorological events can aid farmers in making more targeted management decisions.

Design flood estimation for global river networks based on machine learning models

Gang Zhao et al.

Summary: In this study, a machine-learning-based approach was proposed to estimate design floods globally, which improved the accuracy of flood estimation. The reliability of estimating 100-year flood events in tropical, arid, temperate, cold, and polar climate zones was demonstrated, with the support vector machine regression model showing the best performance.

Assessing Chinese flood protection and its social divergence

Dan Wang et al.

Summary: China faces frequent flooding, and the flood protection levels are mostly unknown, hindering effective flood risk management efforts. A new dataset based on national flood policies shows that policy-based flood protection levels in China could serve as a valuable proxy for designed levels. The study also reveals that investment in flood risk management should also consider the demographic characteristics of the exposed population to reduce social vulnerability and potential casualties.
