On Aug. 21, 2021, Waverly, Tennessee, received nearly one-third of its average annual rainfall in just a few hours—the resulting 17 inches of rain led to one of the deadliest flooding events on record ...

Before rain begins to fall, scientists and engineers can predict where a storm might cause flooding thanks to advanced modeling and digital simulations that help guide billion-dollar decisions ...

For Jude Kastens, who grew up on a farm in northwest Kansas, rainfall was always serious business. Although flooding wasn't as big a problem in his hometown as in central and eastern Kansas, it was ...

Humans have tried to predict the weather for as long as there have been floods and droughts. But in recent years, climate science, advanced computing and satellite imagery have supercharged their ...

A new article presents a new methodology to create a watershed-scale flood model based on LiDAR data. The widespread flooding that submerged parts of the province's most densely populated regions in ...

Flood inundation modelling encompasses a range of numerical and empirical approaches designed to simulate the spatial extent, depth and timing of floodwaters across riverine and urban environments. At ...

Researchers have developed a new simulation model, which can predict flooding during an ongoing disaster more quickly and accurately than currently possible. A new simulation model that can predict ...

Hydrodynamic modelling of floodplain inundation dynamics involves the use of physically based, spatially distributed numerical simulations to predict how water moves across river channels and adjacent ...

Along a roughly 700-mile stretch of the Pacific Northwest coast, one of the largest fault systems in North America has been quietly storing energy for centuries, and researchers say the ground itself ...
