Exposure to coastal flooding is increasing due to growing population and economic activity. These developments go hand-in-hand with a loss and deterioration of ecosystems. Ironically, these ecosystems can play a buffering role in reducing flood hazard. The ability of ecosystems to contribute to reducing coastal flooding has been emphasized in multiple studies. However, the role of ecosystems in hybrid coastal protection (i.e. a combination of ecosystems and levees) has been poorly quantified …

Abstract Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) play a critical role in hydrologic and hydraulic modeling. Flood inundation mapping is highly dependent on the accuracy of DEMs. Various vertical differences exist among open access DEMs as they use various observation satellites and algorithms. The problem is particularly acute in small, flat coastal cities. Thus, it is necessary to assess the differences of the input of DEMs in flood simulation and to reduce anomalous errors of DEMs. In this study, w…

RETRACTED: Mortgage Finance and Climate Change: Securitization Dynamics in the Aftermath of Natural Disasters

Authors: Amine Ouazad, Matthew E. Kahn

Journal: Review of Financial Studies · DOI: 10.1093/rfs/hhab124 · Citations: 145

Matched topics: climate change

Using the government-sponsored enterprises’ sharp securitization rules, this paper provides evidence that, in the aftermath of natural disasters, lenders are more likely to approve mortgages that can be securitized, thereby transferring climate risk. The identification strategy uses the time-varying conforming loan limits above which the government-sponsored enterprises do not securitize mortgages. Natural disasters lead to more securitization right below the limit, suggesting an increased op…

The long-standing hypothesis that the isotopic composition of plant stem water reflects that of source water is being challenged by studies reporting bulk water from woody stems with an isotopic composition that cannot be attributed to any potential water source. The mechanism behind such source-stem water isotopic offsets is still poorly understood. Using a novel technique to extract selectively sap water from xylem conduits, we show that, in cut stems and potted plants, the isotopic composi…

Streamflow forecasting over gauged and ungauged basins play a vital role in water resources planning, especially under the changing climate. Increased availability of large sample hydrology data sets, together with recent advances in deep learning techniques, has presented new opportunities to explore temporal and spatial patterns in hydrological signatures for improving streamflow forecasting. The purpose of this study is to adapt and benchmark several state‐of‐the‐art graph neural network (…

A very likely weakening of Pacific Walker Circulation in constrained near-future projections

Authors: Mingna Wu, Tianjun Zhou, Chao Li, Hongmei Li, Xiaolong Chen, Bo Wu et al.

Journal: Nature Communications · DOI: 10.1038/s41467-021-26693-y · Citations: 115

Matched topics: earth system model

The observational records have shown a strengthening of the Pacific Walker circulation (PWC) since 1979. However, whether the observed change is forced by external forcing or internal variability remains inconclusive, a solid answer to more societal relevantly question of how the PWC will change in the near future is still a challenge. Here we perform a quantitative estimation on the contributions of external forcing and internal variability to the recent observed PWC strengthening using larg…

On Recent Large Antarctic Ozone Holes and Ozone Recovery Metrics

Authors: Kane A. Stone, Susan Solomon, Douglas E. Kinnison, Michael Mills

Journal: Geophysical Research Letters · DOI: 10.1029/2021gl095232 · Citations: 106

Matched topics: earth system model

The 2015 and 2020 ozone holes set record sizes in October-December. We show that these years, as well as other recent large ozone holes, still adhere to a fundamental recovery metric: the later onset of early spring ozone depletion as chlorine and bromine diminishes. This behavior is also captured in the Whole Atmosphere Chemistry Climate Model. We quantify observed recovery trends of the onset of the ozone hole and in the size of the September ozone hole, with good model agreement. A substan…

Riverscape approaches in practice: perspectives and applications

Matched topics: hydrology, streamflow, water management, hydropower

Landscape perspectives in riverine ecology have been undertaken increasingly in the last 30 years, leading aquatic ecologists to develop a diverse set of approaches for conceptualizing, mapping and understanding ‘riverscapes’. Spatiotemporally explicit perspectives of rivers and their biota nested within the socio-ecological landscape now provide guiding principles and approaches in inland fisheries and watershed management. During the last two decades, scientific literature on riverscapes ha…

In this study, we calculated diagnostic values from a total of 520 Landsat OLI/TM remote sensing images of the Yellow River Basin of Inner Mongolia from 2001 to 2020. Using the RSEI and the GEE Cloud Computing Jigsaw, we analyzed the spatial and temporal distributio…

Global rates and patterns of channel migration in river deltas

Authors: Teresa Jarriel, J. M. Swartz, Paola Passalacqua

Journal: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences · DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2103178118 · Citations: 58

Matched topics: river

Significance River deltas are home to hundreds of millions of people and are currently undergoing natural and anthropogenically forced changes to their channel networks. It is important to document current decadal rates of delta channel migration to develop a better understanding of what global-scale phenomena exert influence on rates of change. We can then use that information to predict how future changes will continue to affect deltas and those who inhabit them. After extracting channel mi…

Modularity as a system of separate and independent sub-tasks is the appropriate way to improve the performance of artificial neural network (ANN) models in hydrological processes. Using this approach, a block combined neural network (BCNN) structure incorporated with genetic algorithm (GA) and an additional decision block is suggested in this study. The optimum topology of embedded networks in each block was detected using a vector-based method subjected to different internal characteristics….
