Global warming has increased flood hazards, even in semi-arid regions. The extremely low normal surface water flow in these regions complicates hazard asse
Flood hazards pose a significant threat to agricultural production. Agricultural adaptations tend to be prevalent and systematic in high-frequency flood (HFF) areas but neglected in low-frequency flood (LFF) areas. Here, using satellite imagery, we map g
Channel widening is a major hazard during floods, particularly in confined mountainous catchments. However, channel widening during floods is not well understood and not always explained by hydraulic variables alone. Floods in mountainous regions often c

For example, in 2013, Typhoon Haiyan wrought havoc in the Philippines; flooding caused by its storm surges and high waves damaged electricity infrastructure and caused power losses equal to 6.1 billion customer hours (Dai et al. 2017; Lin 2019). To understand the potential damage caused by ...
examined the Normalized Difference Scattering Index (NDSI), Bayes Inference (BI), Standardized Residuals (SR), and Shannon's entropy of NDSI (SNDSI) models in the Luzon City, Philippines (Tupas et al., 2023). From the results, it is observed that the BI model outperformed in accuracy ...
The anomalous easterlies stretch further east to the Philippines, with an anomalous south-westerly flow also seen over China. Together these anomalies are indicative of an intensified and westward-shifted West Pacific Subtropical High (WNPSH). Furthermore, anomalous south-westerly flow is seen over...
The performance of the respondents is rated for each parameter and the influence of several predictors evaluated. The research shows three significant patterns: there is poor awareness and little worry about historical inundations in the area; experience of the past flooding events in town is the ...

precipitation contributions in central and northern California Water 2011, 3 472 (Figure 13a) are found in the westernmost Pacific, with positive correlations (red) with sea-surface temperatures northeast of Japan and negative correlations (blue) in the tropical Pacific near the Philippines and ...
