Abstract: Geospatial transposition of observed storms can be useful for examining potential rainfall and flood hazards, and several recent software packages help facilitate transposition of remote sensing–based rainfall observations ...

Abstract: Rainfall from tropical cyclones (TCs) in Puerto Rico and similar environments can cause extreme riverine flooding accompanied by substantial scour, transport, and sediment deposition. These processes can alter channel and ...

Abstract: Geospatial transposition of observed storms can be useful for examining potential rainfall and flood hazards, and several recent software packages help facilitate transposition of remote sensing–based rainfall observations ...

Abstract: Area reduction factors (ARFs), which are used to convert estimates of extreme point rainfall to estimates of extreme area-averaged rainfall, are central to conventional flood risk assessment. Errors in the estimation of ...

Abstract: The state of Iowa in the Central United States has experienced increasing flooding, with major events occurring most recently in 1993, 2008, 2011, and 2019. These floods caused over $23B in damage despite Iowa’s three flood ...

Abstract: Intense rain events and sprawling urbanization have contributed to more frequent flash flooding in cities, often due to the pressurization of drainage systems. Stormwater collection networks (SCNs) can become pressurized ...

Abstract: The EPA’s Storm Water Management Model (SWMM) has been applied across the globe for citywide stormwater modeling due to its robustness and versatility. Recent research indicated that SWMM, with proper setup, can be applied ...

Abstract: Dams are ubiquitous in the United States, with more than 87,000 influencing streamflow across the nation. The significant majority of these dams are small and are often ignored in real-time flood forecasting operations and ...
