Flooding is one of the most significant natural hazards in Iran, primarily due to the country’s arid and semi-arid climate, irregular rainfall patterns, and substantial changes in watershed conditions. These factors combine to make floods a frequent cause of disasters. In this case study, flood susceptibility patterns in the Marand Plain, located in the East Azerbaijan Province in northwest I…
The Dead Sea ecosystem, with its hypersaline conditions, base-level fluctuations, and active tectonics, presents a unique challenge for geological studies. Its equilibrium is increasingly unbalanced due to overexploitation of water and mineral resources. Remote sensing, including drone-based photogrammetry and satellite imaging, monitors large-scale surface changes, while geophysical methods li…
Flood incidents can massively damage and disrupt a city economic or governing core. However, flood risk can be mitigated through event planning and city-wide preparation to reduce damage. For, governments, firms, and civilians to make such preparations, flood susceptibility predictions are required. To predict flood susceptibility nine environmental related factors have been identified. They ar…
The flood hazards in the southwest coastal region of India in 2018 and 2020 resulted in numerous casualties and the displacement of over a million people from their homes. In order to mitigate the loss of life and resources caused by recurrent major and minor flood events, it is imperative to develop a comprehensive spatial flood zonation map of the entire area. Therefore, the main aim of the p…
Floods affect chronically many communities around the world. Their socioeconomic impact increases year-by-year, boosted by global warming and climate change. Combined with long-term preemptive measures, preparatory actions are crucial when floods are imminent. In the last decade, machine learning models have been used to anticipate these hazards. In this work, we model the Ter river (NE Spain),…
Flooding presents a formidable challenge in the United States, endangering lives and causing substantial economic damage, averaging around $5 billion annually. Addressing this issue and improving community resilience is imperative. This project employed machine learning techniques and publicly available data to explore the factors influencing flooding and to develop flood susceptibility maps at…
