The proposed transport mechanism for the transport of flood waters from the shelf in the northeastern Gulf of Mexico to the Straits of Florida is via the Loop Current through entrainment. Salinity records from offshore C-MAN towers indicate that the low-salinity band persisted off the lower ...

(to mitigate risk, not just transfer it) or funding assistance could help protect Americans from these effects. A way to sustain the federal flood-insurance program could be putting limits on rebuilding within flood zones: repeatedly flooded properties have historically accoun...
In France, as in many other places, the concentration of people and activities in coastal zones is increasing [18,19,20,21]. The perspective of higher sea levels due to climate change increases the risk that these territories will be exposed to natural coastal hazards [22]. Therefore, ...
Wu et al. [16] applied a binary logistic regression model to actual traffic flow and weather data from two areas in Florida to compare the traffic patterns during persistent fog events to those during sunny periods. Their results show that the risk of accident increases under foggy conditions....
A series of related stormwater management regulations have been formulated in Florida, Chicago, and other locales, and remarkable achievements have been made [3,4]. The idea behind LID is to depress the negative influence of water quantity as well as the quality of the runoff process caused by...
