Designing Flood-Resilient Cities: How Urban Morphology Shapes Population Exposure Risk

Floods are among the most destructive natural hazards globally, yet traditional exposure assessments rely on static population data and overlook the role of urban morphology in shaping flood risk distribution. In March 2026, Rui Liu published a study in Risk Analysis to address this by building a dynamic flood exposure framework for the Yangtze River Delta.

Modeling Dynamic Flood Population Exposure in Coupled Human-Water Systems: The Role of Reservoir Regulation and Population Movement

Flooding poses a severe threat to human society, but traditional exposure assessments often rely on static population data and ignore the role of reservoirs. In October 2025, Xiaoyuan Xiao published a study in Water Resources Research to address this by modeling dynamic flood exposure in coupled human-water systems.

Reshaping global rainfall erosivity rates: A study on precipitation phase correction from 2015 to 2022

Soil erosion caused by precipitation affects landscapes and ecosystems. Precipitation kinetic energy (PKE) indicates rainfall's ability to erode soil, but past studies often overlooked snowfall and other precipitation phases. In April 2025, Duanyang Ji published a study in Journal of Hydrology to correct this issue in global rainfall erosivity rates.
