“Drought is a hazard that impacts millions of people globally each year and that can have significant impacts on societies, economies, and ecosystems. Limited research has been focused on drought vulnerability in high-income countries partly because many are located in traditionally water-rich regions. However, recent droughts in 2022 and 2023 demonstrate that these countries can also be adversely impacted. This paper reviews current research on drought vulnerability in high-income countries with the aim of assessing the state-of-the-art and identifying research gaps. A systematic literature search identified 144 records, of which 71 studies were retained for full-text review. Of these, 33 had a global scope, 31 focused on Europe or European subregions, and only 6 focused on North America. Oceania and Asia were only represented in global studies. The literature was strongly sectoral, with agriculture being the most studied sector (17 studies), followed by trees/forestry (12 studies), while only a small number of studies assessed vulnerability across multiple sectors. A main finding of the review is that there are substantial differences in drought vulnerability within countries, which are not necessarily related to physical water scarcity, but to differences social, economic, and local and/or regional governance and policies. The findings also highlight the fact that there is no standardized concept for drought vulnerability, making assessments challenging to compare. In addition, the review highlights the lack of cross-sectoral drought vulnerability studies and a limited understanding of cascading impacts and gives recommendations for further research to aid a more comprehensive understanding of the impacts of drought…”

“Dams and reservoirs have played a central role in the industrialization and economic development of the United States, providing hydropower, flood control, navigation, water supply, and recreation. Yet they have also transformed river systems, displaced communities, and contributed to major ecological change. This paper presents an exploratory review of the history, present status, and future of dams in the Southeastern United States, focusing on U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic regions 3 (South Atlantic-Gulf) and 6 (Tennessee). Using data from the National Inventory of Dams, historical archives, and interdisciplinary literature, the study examines temporal trends in dam construction, societal and ecological impacts, hazard conditions, and emerging trends in dam management. The Southeastern U.S. contains some of the nation’s highest dam densities and storage capacities, with more than 19,000 inventoried dams as of 2026. Many dams were constructed during the mid-twentieth century through the New Deal and postwar infrastructure programs led by the Tennessee Valley Authority and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This aging infrastructure, in combination with inconsistent regulation, and increasing exposure to extreme weather raises growing safety concerns, particularly for the many high-hazard dams in poor or unrated conditions in the region. The paper also explores future trajectories, including hydropower modernization, pumped storage expansion, and dam removal efforts aimed at balancing renewable energy production, ecological restoration, and public safety…”

“Does host movement play a role in the spread of chronic wasting disease?🦌
Chronic wasting disease (CWD), a fatal neurodegenerative prion disease affecting deer, elk, and other cervids, has now been detected in 37 U.S. states and 5 Canadian provinces. Understanding how the disease spreads across landscapes is critical to managing it, and one hypothesis is that regions where deer move long distances, as with seasonal migrations, there should be faster disease spread.
A new USGS study tests this hypothesis. Using published GPS deer movement and CWD spread data, scientists built statistical models predicting how fast CWD should spread based on the migration and dispersal patterns of mule deer and white-tailed deer. They then compared these predictions to two decades of observed CWD detection data across North America (2005 to 2022).
The results were only partially consistent with expectations:
💠Western epicenters with highly mobile mule deer did have faster CWD spread rates than regions with only white-tailed deer.
💠In the Canadian Prairie Provinces (Alberta/Saskatchewan), deer movements were shorter than in Colorado or Wyoming, yet CWD spread faster there.
💠Predicted CWD spread based on deer movement resulted in slower rates than the observed CWD rates showing that accounting for migration or juvenile dispersal did not fully explain the observed CWD rate estimates.
This study provides the first estimates of CWD spread rates across the U.S. and Canada. These results help to inform an important management tradeoff: deer movements can contribute to disease spread, but migration may also help support resilient and healthy wildlife populations…”

“Floods, as extreme flow events, are among the costliest and devastating natural hazards. Among the various domains impacted by flooding, environmental degradation, particularly the deterioration of water quality (WQ), is one of the most impacted yet often overlooked. Therefore, it is essential to understand the nature and source of water pollution associated with flooding. This study aims to evaluate and assess multiple studies conducted globally to determine the impact of floods on WQ. A literature review and assessment of 66 studies published between 2007 and 2026 was conducted using the total comprehensiveness score (TCS). To support the scoring process, studies that scored more than 70% of the maximum achievable TCS (15.4) are considered the most detailed and comprehensive in addressing the objectives of this review. 16 studies achieved a TCS above 15.4, indicating that a limited number of studies incorporate a broader set of factors in this domain. A higher number of studies were conducted post the year 2021, highlighting both scientific progress and a growing focus on WQ impacts from disasters such as floods, beyond the traditionally emphasized socio-economic loss. Among the shortlisted studies, fluvial floods are the most frequently examined, followed by pluvial floods and coastal floods. During fluvial floods, turbidity increased by up to two orders of magnitude, while nutrient concentrations (TN, TP) typically rose by ∼ 10–30%. In contrast, pluvial floods were characterised by dilution-driven decreases in EC and TDS, with DOX, BOD and COD showing variable responses across flood types. This review evaluates flood impacts on WQ, catchment characteristics, and sources of WQ modification. The findings of the research reveal that not all WQ parameters are responsible for WQ degradation during every flood event. Rather, it is a combination of certain parameters that leads to deteriorated WQ. WQ degradation depends on interacting factors such as flood duration, extent, depth, and flow dynamics. In overall, this study provides an overview of the multiple cascading impacts of floods on WQ, along with a detailed perspective on the set of criteria that should be considered in future research…”
