Climate Change Contributions to Increasing Compound Flooding Risk in New York City
Efforts to meaningfully quantify the changes in coastal compound surge- and rainfall -driven flooding hazard associated with tropical cyclones (TCs) and extratropical cyclones (ETCs) in a warming climate have increased in recent years. Despite substantial ...
Boston2024Responding to floods: disaster relief infrastructure in Piura, Peru
Located on the periphery of the city of Piura in Peru, a series of villages face increasing flooding related to El Niño phenomenon and climate change. This causes separation of families, the loss of their homes, crops, livelihoods, and worsens already poor ...
2023Effects of Unsaturated Flow on Salt Distributions in Tidally Influenced Coastal Unconfined Aquifers
David Andrew Barry, Zhaoyang Luo
Unsaturated flow influences both the seawater extent under steady-state conditions and the propagation of tides in coastal aquifers. However, its effects on salt distributions in tidally influenced coastal aquifers are little investigated. The present stud ...
2023Mechanistic 2D flow-erosion modelling of vegetated river banks
Giovanni De Cesare, Paolo Perona, Massimiliano Schwarz
We present a simple, vertically-explicit 2D model of river bank erosion that also takes the effect of sediment stabilization by plant roots into account. The model is solved in quasi-analytical form for an exemplary non-stationary hydrograph temporal signa ...
2023Influence of channel geomorphic units on bedload transport and river morphology during low‐magnitude bed‐forming floods coupled with sediment augmentation
Giovanni De Cesare, Severin Stähly, Christian Mörtl, Robin Schroff
In this study, we map different types of channel geomorphic units in a sediment-starved, residual-flow reach before and after an artificial flood. Bedload particles of a previous sediment augmentation measure are tracked with passive integrated transponder ...
2023Surface water and groundwater interactions in salt marshes and their impact on plant ecology and coastal biogeochemistry
Salt marshes are highly productive intertidal wetlands providing important ecological services for maintaining coastal biodiversity, buffering against oceanic storms, and acting as efficient carbon sinks. However, about half of these wetlands have been los ...
2022South Sudan - State-of-the-Art on Flood Resilient Shelters
Edisson Xavier Estrella Arcos, André Ullal
One of the most observable consequences of climate change is the abrupt increment in the number and intensity of seasonal floods. This has a special impact on vulnerable communities and developing countries that experience a strong impact on their housing ...
