Lieber encouraged subway riders to strongly consider bus service instead, saying they're "the lion's share of our mass transit right now. So please consider a bus." Lieber said one of the three lines of Metro-North - the Hudson line - has been restored. He said restorati...
The future impacts of climate change on landfalling tropical cyclones are unclear. Regardless of this uncertainty, flooding by tropical cyclones will increase as a result of accelerated sea-level rise. Under similar rates of rapid sea-level rise during t

Aesthetic value refers to the view and natural qualities near water bodies that people find desirable. A flood, whether minor or major, can physically and functionally modify the ecosystem and infrastructure, which usually results in a reduction of the aesthetic value. Over longer term between extre...
rise predicted under SSP5-8.5 (0.96 m31). Based on our models, this would result in a projected ~0.2 m increase in wave-driven water levels during storms (Fig.5a). On the other hand, by increasing reef elevation, restoration could keep water depths at the reef crest near the lowest ...
Compared to other scenarios spatially, LULC transitions in S4 were comparatively more uniform, favoring future human interventions and landscape restoration measures in localized areas. However, possibly due to the reduction in low- and medium-intensity developed regions, we could not observe substantial...
Intensive urbanization and related increase of impervious surfaces, causes negative impacts on the hydrological cycle, amplifying the risk of urban floods. These impacts can get even worse due to potential climate change impacts. The urban areas of the S
The potential benefits of green stormwater infrastructure beyond flood mitigation, such as for the protection or restoration of downstream aquatic habitat or the mitigation of heat island effects, are drawing increasing interest as a way to mitigate multiple impacts of urban development [4]. Cities ar...
Ultimately, how could large-scale restoration realistically be achieved? This model provides a water management framework to estimate mitigating the trade-offs of upland ranching management using just enough upland flood flow to mitigate flood energy, while allowing enough to flow to the valleys to ...
To address this, we conducted a microcosm experiment using soil cores collected at the nature restoration project site Gyldensteen Strand (Denmark), which were flooded with seawater and monitored over six months. Throughout the experiment, biogeochemical analyses, microbial community fingerprinting and ...
