National Hydrologic Warning Council’s Post

Choosing plot and transect sites in Jackson Demonstration State Forest's Caspar Creek watersheds for the Redwood Resilience Project with a contingent from Northern Arizona University and the USFS Pacific Southwest Research Station. The objectives of the study are to establish linkages between stand conditions, soil/subsurface moisture, drought resiliency, and fuel moisture.

Sharing our latest pre-print (https://lnkd.in/gt8wScQp). Most of hydrology is focused on peak and timing of floods, and comparatively little attention is paid to the recession/recovery period of floods, which impacts economic recovery and health of flood-affected communities. We propose a new definition of Flash Flood Recovery (or, Recoveriness), which we then map to ungauged locations using an intepretable ML approach. We prototype it over the US due to easier availability of data, and will expand the metric to other locations once the paper is published.

Our work on Hurricane Heat Trails may partially explain the connection between anomalous heat after coastal flooding events as described in this article: https://lnkd.in/eq6G2u4T

How did a high-energy flood in 2021 change the shape of the Ahr River in Germany and how did infrastructure affect the buildup of mud and stagnant water afterwards? With climate change, heavy rainfall events and river flooding are projected to increase, potentially bringing excess amounts of mud to riverbeds. This excess mud can carry pollutants, block the river and endanger habitats. Stagnant water pools can cause issues for how people use floodplains. Understanding how high-energy floods reshape rivers and interact with infrastructure is critical to ensuring public safety, managing resources and planning for the future in a changing climate.

On #WorldWaterDay, I would like to share a platform I am working on, part of my PhD Research with Politecnico di Milano and RMIT University under the REDI Program: The Flood Photostories Repository. #Flood is a global issue but takes different forms and #adaptation to floods is particularly context-dependent. There might be niches of #innovation across countries, bottom-up or local top-down solutions that suggest innovative approaches. Through the platform, I collect news, stories, and images of flood events and strategies around the world. By giving space to #storytelling and qualitative methods, the #photostories enable people to record and reflect on their concerns, inform research with local experiences, and promote knowledge through collective dissemination. If you - or someone in your network- have a story to tell, go ahead and share it! #MSCA #MCAA #phd #floodriskmanagement #storytelling

Sustainability means ensuring that our needs today don't compromise the ability of future generations to meet their own. Let's take a moment to reflect on how our daily habits affect the availability of resources like water for others. By making conscious choices and supporting measures like consumption restrictions, we can create a more equitable and sustainable environment for all, including future generations. It's an invitation to embrace change, knowing that by doing so, we're safeguarding the well-being of those who will come after us. Together, let's work towards a future where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive. #YYC #UCalgary #Schulich #Engineering #Drought #climatechange

Its that time again when we communicate science in an easy to understand, visual format!!!! This third issue of PAGES horizon deals with the theme on how studying past extreme wet and dry phases aids our understanding, and informs future action, on floods and droughts under the current global change. find our publication 👇 https://lnkd.in/dnUdygb4

Our world with increasing number of floods, needs us who contribute solutions. Im so excited to inform you that our latest paper has just been published in the esteemed journal of Cleaner Production (IF: 11.1). In this study, we learn how to manage floods in complex nonurban-urban areas, considering socio-economic viewpoints. Special thanks to professor M.H. Niksokhan and professor Mohammad Reza Nikoo for their scientific guidance and thanks to my dear friend S. Farid Mousavi. J for his valuable contribution. Link: https://lnkd.in/dchESzfp
