floods

Indirect pressures on many areas could outweigh direct inundation

"The world is at greater flood risk than what we realized,” UTA scientist says

Modeling predicts the devastating socioeconomic impacts of flooding for developing countries

Most regional assessments of sea level rise risks omit high-end scenarios, leading to potential underestimates

New technique uses satellites with radar imaging to see through clouds

Researchers propose designing permeable pavements as a means of flood control

Strategies such as green roofs and vegetated parks will not be able to mitigate both heat waves and flooding

Recent computer modeling studies indicate that coastal wastewater infrastructure is likely to flood with groundwater as sea-level rises

Researchers predict the entire West Coast will experience greater month-to-month fluctuations in extremely dry and wet weather, especially in California

Researchers combined storm surge, sea level rise, and the predicted increased occurrence and strength in tropical storms and hurricanes to create a map of flood hazard possibility along the US East Coast and Gulf of Mexico
