[“The index complements site-specific flood and erosion modelling.”]
H/T @kevin Walsh | PhD Researcher at University College Cork
“In this paper [1st link above], [the authors] seek to answer the question “what is the relative distribution of exposure to coastal hazards around the Irish coast, and where can coastal habitats potentially reduce exposure?”
The method [they] chose to achieve this was the Coastal Vulnerability Model (CVM), within the InVEST software suite. This involves combining the key physical and climatic variables which can show us where along the coast might be most adversely affected by extreme winds, powerful waves and surges, and sea level rise.
It also reveals the potential protection provided by coastal habitats, such as dunes and saltmarsh, as well as populations and sites of cultural heritage located within zones deemed “Very High Exposure”.
[They] tested variations to the model, including seeing how the results change when certain variables are left out, what happens if we add in other variables, and how ranking choices impact exposure distribution. The results show that these choices, especially the ranking methods, can have large impacts on hazard distribution and the overall interpretation of the results. However, [they] found that the CVM quintile based approach was most suitable for Ireland, as it reveals high exposure sites on the east coast, which tends to be overlooked when different methods are applied.
[The H/T] also prepared an interactive map, where you can view the results in detail [2nd link above]
There’s a lot of work ongoing in this space around Ireland, [they] hope this will be a valuable contribution towards sustainable management of our coastline…”

Mapping Flood Agents In The Northern Pantanal Wetland Using Multiple Spatio-Temporal GIS And Remote Sensing Techniques

“Combining MODIS data, TRMM, river discharge, a digital terrain model, and multinomial logistic regression, [the authors] identified three predominant classes of flood origin: local rainfall, bank overflow, and mixed areas. The model achieved a Nagelkerke Pseudo-R² of 0.63 and a classification accuracy of up to 81.2% (10-fold cross-validation). To the best of [their] knowledge, this is the first explicit approach to mapping flood agents for this wetland, a component that has historically remained unmapped despite its recognized influence on habitats and biodiversity…”

“The mapping of functional hydrologic units is crucial for enhancing our understanding of flooding and hydroecological processes in large wetlands. These units are typically defined by flooding frequency, duration, and magnitude, but another important hydrologic characteristic is the origin of flooding, known as the flood agent. This study presents an empirical framework utilizing remote sensing and GIS procedures for modeling flood agents in the northern Pantanal wetland. Eleven spatial data layers were derived from multi-year MODIS flood maps, daily rainfall estimates from the TRMM 3B42 grid, in situ discharge data, the BEST Digital Terrain Model, and a hydrographic network layer. These layers were tested for their predictive power in a multinomial logistic regression mapping model. Model performance metrics, along with qualitative validation of mapping outcomes using in situ flooding measurements, and vegetation and soil data from field test sites, support the plausibility of the proposed mapping scheme. However, they also highlight the challenges of flood agent mapping in large tropical wetlands…”

Modeling Climate Change Impacts On Blue And Green Water In The Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin

H/T @Dessalegn worku Ayalew
“The present study assesses the impacts of climate change on blue and green water in the Kessie Watershed of the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin using the SWAT+ model.
[The authors] set up [a] SWAT+ model using quality-controlled and homogenized observational climate time series… and calibrated it using a multisite calibration approach. [They] selected CMIP6 climate models for future simulations and bias-correction methods through a comprehensive performance assessment... Building on these previous studies, the present research further evaluates the reliability of combining robust climate-model selection with optimal bias-correction methods to improve the reliability of hydrological simulations. [They] then used the best-performing climate models, bias-corrected using the optimal methods, to project future changes in blue and green water in the study area…
KEY FINDINGS:
• SWAT+ effectively represented hydrological processes across multiple gauging stations in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Ensembles of CMIP6 climate models improved the reliability of hydrological simulations compared with individual climate models.
• Optimized climate-model selection reduced biases in hydrological simulations more than bias correction alone.
• Arbitrary selection of climate models can degrade hydrological simulations, even when their outputs are bias-corrected using robust methods.
• Both blue and green water are projected to increase under future climate change in the Ethiopian Upper Blue Nile Basin.
• Blue water exhibits greater seasonality and climate sensitivity than green water flow and green water storage.
The study also provides sustainable water management options for adapting to the impacts of climate change, with implications for water resource planning and management in the Upper Blue Nile Basin…”

💁🏻♀️ TIL: 🦦🗽 A camera captured the first river otter sighting in the #Bronx River in over a century.
Once treated as a city dumping ground, the #waterway lost #otters and #beavers to #pollution and #habitat loss. Decades of cleanup restored #oysters and beavers, now joined by this otter signaling active #ecosystem recovery.

"ABSTRACT: Deforestation is a spiralling environmental catastrophe with impervious results for biodiversity, climate change, and human livelihoods, specifically in tropical regions. Being a tropical country, Bangladesh has experienced approximately 40% loss of its forest cover, at Gazipur since 1930, which contains about 86% of the country's Sal (Shorea robusta) forest, ranging approximately 4,300 hectares per year (2001–2010) to over 19,500 hectares per year (2011–2020), exemplifying an intensification of nearly 353%. The objective of this study is to map deforestation probability at the Gazipur district of Dhaka Division, Bangladesh, by utilising machine learning algorithms along with multi-source geospatial data, with the purpose of identifying high-risk zones and facilitating evidence-based forest governance, land-use development, and prioritizing conservation areas. This study integrated twelve conditioning factors, including biophysical, landscape, and anthropogenic. To identify susceptible zones the study trained and assessed five machine learning algorithms; RF, XGBoost, ANN, NB, and MLP and validating the result through different metrics like sensitivity, specificity, precision, accuracy, F1-score, AUC. The performance of the models was evaluated using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and marginal response curves (MRC) were used to understand factor contributions. In the result, RF achieved highest performance with accuracy of 84% and AUC of 0.93, followed by XGBoost at 83% accuracy and 0.92 AUC. Rainfall and population density were most dominant conditioning factors among models. Pairwise statistical testing resulted that ensemble-based algorithms (RF, XGBoost) generated statistically comparable and significantly higher predictions compared to NB and MLP. Spatial probability maps indicate areas of high and very high risk in the south-western and north-eastern upazilas. The results can be applicable for forest management authorities, urban planners, and policymakers, and correspond with SDG Indicator 15. An inclusive governance framework containing land zoning, ecological area identification, and compliance with industrial EIA is proposed to persuade probability maps into adaptive forest management strategies…”
