Due to global climate change and ongoing deglaciation, research on Glacial Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs) is of great importance. The idea of a glacial lake outburst floods database project arose from our effort to identify regional specifics of these events in our region of research interest—...
Optical remote sensing often fails to map floods as they are happening, as the Earth’s surface is usually obscured by clouds during flooding events10. Microwave remote sensing is generally accepted as the best way to map surface water, as it can penetrate clouds and, to some extent, ...
The remaining two-thirds could be allocated to four topics connected to communication about climate-related heat or heat waves. Two of these were on the impacts of heat and heat waves (health impacts 20%; social impacts 16%), one was on extreme weather and climate change attribution (17%)...
Extreme weather events this summer - like fires in the Mediterranean, floods in New York or heatwaves in the UK - will become "more frequent and sadly become normal", he added. He said climate change is exacerbating flooding because ...

Moreover, there is so still a lot we don’t know about the vagaries of the environment, and even about plants themselves. We still “hope” for good harvests. We still “pray” for rain, and we still “worry” about early frosts, late snow, unexpected floods, prolonged droughts, tenacio...
In addition to tsunamis, weather and climate disasters such as floods, tropical cyclones, severe storms, drought, wildfires, and winter storms claim countless lives and cause billions of dollars in damages in the United States every year. It is NCEI's job to chronicle these disasters and documen...
