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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

One year ago, Congress defunded public media. Now that we're 100% community funded, please become a sustaining member or increase your existing membership today. Researchers out of UC Irvine have said ...
