(1952). Along seashores and on islands floods may result from the inundation of the coastal zone by a wave formed during earthquakes or volcanic eruptions in the ocean (tsunamis). Floods of this type occur frequently on the shores of Japan and other Pacific islands. Breaks in dams or ...
when in reality there may simply not be an up-to-date local flood map, they may be at risk of unmapped pluvial (or, indeed, fluvial) floods or they may be outside of the 100-year flood zone where lower-frequency floods can still occur. Additionally, for those located in the 100-year...
To explore the economic feasibility of land-based risk mitigation policies, Rifat and Liu (2022) applied an artificial neural network and Markov-chain model to measure future urban growth patterns under different development strategies and sea-level rise impacts in southeast Florida. Their study ...

In June 2022, a large erosional event at the bridge pier resulted in a cut-off (Fig. 7a), leading to a large stagnant water pool with an overlap with the impact zone of the bridges. Sediment samples by Gardner et al. revealed a high fine content and high liquidity in the pictured ...
urban areas, agricultural lands, as well as the air force base, airport, and portions of the transpeninsular highway are in hazardous flood areas, making necessary to reduce the exposure and vulnerability to these tropical cyclone-related events. A resulting map was effective in defining those ar...
