Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-023-41888-1 · Citations: 443

Matched topics: climate change

Extreme weather events lead to significant adverse societal costs. Extreme Event Attribution (EEA), a methodology that examines how anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions had changed the occurrence of specific extreme weather events, allows us to quantify the climate change-induced component of these costs. We collect data from all available EEA studies, combine these with data on the socio-economic costs of these events and extrapolate for missing data to arrive at an estimate of the global …

Analysis of high-resolution annual data shows that global human settlements have expanded continuously and rapidly into flood zones, with those in the most hazardous zones increasing by 122% from 1985 to 2015. Disaster losses are increasing and evidence is mounting that climate change is driving up the probability of extreme natural shocks^ 1 – 3 . Yet it has also proved politically expedient to invoke climate change as an exogenous force that supposedly places disasters beyond the influence …

Abstract Rivers originating from the Tibetan Plateau (TP) provide water to more than 1 billion people living downstream. Almost 40% of the TP is currently underlain by permafrost, which serves as both an ice reserve and a flow barrier and is expected to degrade drastically in a warming climate. The hydrological impacts of permafrost thaw across the TP, however, remain poorly understood. Here, we quantify the permafrost change on the TP over 1980–2100 and evaluate its hydrological impacts usin…


Hydrological Processes, Snow Dynamics, and Remote Sensing

This theme encompasses 12 papers advancing understanding of hydrological processes through field observations, modeling, and remote sensing. Research covers snow distribution and dynamics in cold regions, forest-hydrology interactions, land use change impacts on river systems, rainfall-runoff modeling uncertainty, and satellite-based monitoring of terrestrial water resources.

Toward Street‐Level Nowcasting of Flash Floods Impacts Based on HPC Hydrodynamic Modeling at the Watershed Scale and High‐Resolution Weather Radar Data

Authors: Pierfranco Costabile, Carmelina Costanzo, John Kalogiros, Vasilis Bellos

Journal: Water Resources Research · DOI: 10.1029/2023wr034599 · Citations: 66

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, flood

Abstract In our era, the rapid increase of parallel programming coupled with high‐performance computing (HPC) facilities allows for the use of two‐dimensional shallow water equation (2D‐SWE) algorithms for simulating floods at the “hydrological” catchment scale, rather than just at the “hydraulic” fluvial scale. This approach paves the way for the development of new operational systems focused on impact‐based flash‐floods nowcasting, wherein hydrodynamic simulations directly model the spatial…

Integrating ecological risk, ecosystem health, and ecosystem services for assessing regional ecological security and its driving factors: Insights from a large river basin in China

Authors: Qing Zhu, Yongli Cai

Journal: Ecological Indicators · DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolind.2023.110954 · Citations: 70

Matched topics: river

Watershed ecological security (ES), which is fundamental to regional sustainable development, consists of ecological risk (ER), ecosystem health (EH), and ecosystem services (ESs). It remains unclear how to describe the status of regional ES by integrating the three key characteristics, and little is known about the differences among the factors driving ER, EH, ESs, and ES. Here, we established an integrated assessment system of regional ES based on the cause–effect relationship of ER, EH, an…


Soil Erosion Assessment by RUSLE, Google Earth Engine, and Geospatial Techniques over Rel River Watershed, Gujarat, India

Authors: Keval H. Jodhani, Dhruvesh Patel, N. Madhavan, Sudhir Kumar Singh

Journal: Water Conservation Science and Engineering · DOI: 10.1007/s41101-023-00223-x · Citations: 65

Matched topics: river, earth system model

The assessment of soil erosion holds paramount significance in sustainable land management and environmental conservation. In this context, the integration of advanced technologies such as the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation (RUSLE), Google Earth Engine (GEE), and geospatial techniques presents a formidable approach for evaluating soil erosion dynamics. This integrated methodology proves particularly valuable when applied to the Rel River watershed, where factors such as terrain, land us…


The tumor-draining lymph node as a reservoir for systemic immune surveillance.

Authors: Ines Delclaux, K. S. Ventre, Dennis Jones, A. Lund

Journal: Trends in Cancer · DOI: 10.1016/j.trecan.2023.09.006 · Citations: 69

Matched topics: reservoir

Early in solid tumor development, antigens are presented in tumor-draining lymph nodes (tdLNs), a process that is necessary to set up immune surveillance. Recent evidence indicates that tdLNs fuel systemic tumor-specific T cell responses which may halt cancer progression and facilitate future responses to immunotherapy. These protective responses, however, are subject to progressive dysfunction exacerbated by lymph node (LN) metastasis. We discuss emerging preclinical and clinical literature …


Evaluation of Satellite-Derived Precipitation Products for Streamflow Simulation of a Mountainous Himalayan Watershed: A Study of Myagdi Khola in Kali Gandaki Basin, Nepal

Authors: Aashutosh Aryal, Thanh‐Nhan‐Duc Tran, Brijesh Kumar, V. Lakshmi

Journal: Remote Sensing · DOI: 10.3390/rs15194762 · Citations: 53

Matched topics: hydrology, hydrologic model, streamflow

This study assesses four Satellite-derived Precipitation Products (SPPs) that are corrected and validated against gauge data such as Soil Moisture to Rain—Advanced SCATterometer V1.5 (SM2RAIN-ASCAT), Multi-Source Weighted-Ensemble Precipitation V2.8 (MSWEP), Global Precipitation Measurement Integrated Multi-satellitE Retrievals for GPM Final run V6 (GPM IMERGF), and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station (CHIRPS). We evaluate the performance of these SPPs in Nepal’s Myagdi …


ChatGPT in Hydrology and Earth Sciences: Opportunities, Prospects, and Concerns

ChatGPT will be used by many scientists going forward for creating content and driving scientific progress. This commentary offers a brief explanation of the fundamental principles behind Chat…


Continental United States climate projections based on thermodynamic modification of historical weather

Authors: Andrew D. Jones, Deeksha Rastogi, Pouya Vahmani, Alyssa M. Stansfield, Kevin A. Reed, Travis Thurber et al.

Journal: Scientific Data · DOI: 10.1038/s41597-023-02485-5 · Citations: 54

Matched topics: hydrologic model

Regional climate models can be used to examine how past weather events might unfold under different climate conditions by simulating analogue versions of those events with modified thermodynamic conditions (i.e., warming signals). Here, we apply this approach by dynamically downscaling a 40-year sequence of past weather from 1980-2019 driven by atmospheric re-analysis, and then repeating this 40-year sequence a total of 8 times using a range of time-evolving thermodynamic warming signals that…


Rivers and Water Systems as Weapons and Casualties of the Russia‐Ukraine War

Authors: Peter H. Gleick, Viktor Vyshnevskyi, S. А. Shevchuk

Journal: Earth s Future · DOI: 10.1029/2023ef003910 · Citations: 50

Matched topics: river

Abstract The geophysical, hydrological, and ecological consequences of the Russia‐Ukraine war for the major rivers and water infrastructure in Ukraine are addressed here, focused on the dams and reservoirs of the Dnipro (Dnieper) River and major tributaries, up to and including the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in June 2023, using remote sensing systems, on‐the‐ground reports, and official sources. The rivers have long played a role as physical barriers during conflicts, but in the current …
