Generally, soil moisture and monthly maximum daily rainfall (MMR) are the dominant drivers of flood in tropical basins while monthly maximum daily snowmelt (MMS) is the dominant driver in high latitude basins. From 195382 to 197504, significant changes in flood generation mechanisms are found in ...
In Australia, changes in antecedent soil moisture modulate flood seasonality and the driving factors are different in small and large floods30. Some studies also attribute flood time change to large scale circulations12,40. Most of these studies focus on changes in flood timing on a continental ...

The earth’s temperature is rapidly changing. As a result there has been a lot of climate change such as heat waves, droughts and floods. Scientists believe that this is the result of human activity, which is polluting the Earth’s atmosphere. This could become a disaster if governments do...

The couple enjoyed their children. They took care of small pro blems right away so they wouldn't become big problems. Fred says, "If you have trouble with one of your children, don't wor ry. Worry doesn't help, and in time your child will be all right." When the children were ...
Adequate management of floods is reliant on a priori assessments of flood events and their consequences. Such assessments give insights into what can be expected, and thereby open up the discussion on how to tackle such situations. Moreover, such assessment frameworks can be used to evaluate measu...
An intensified hydrological cycle with global warming is expected to increase the intensity and frequency of extreme precipitation events. However, whether and to what extent the enhanced extreme precipitation translates into changes in river floods remains controversial. Here we demonstrate that previously...
