Accurate hydrological modelling is crucial for understanding natural processes and managing water resources. However, simulation accuracy depends on the availability of field observations for calibration and validation. It is therefore…
Navigating the complexities of global and local water resources challenges requires collaboration and mutual learning among diverse knowledge systems and disciplines. However, Western philosophical approaches to generating knowledge have prevailed…
Flood events are among the most destructive natural hazards, requiring comprehensive risk management strategies to mitigate their impact on society and the environment. This study uses the potential of the…
Nature-based Solutions (NbS) aim to address natural and anthropogenic risks, enhancing ecosystem-based approaches, biodiversity, human health, and socio-economic growth. Despite the growing interest in NbS applications, their integration into landscape…
In recent years, significant advancements in geomorphic methods have provided a valuable and cost-effective alternative for large-scale flood mapping. The Geomorphic Flood Index (GFI) is one such method that has…
The development of continuous river turbidity monitoring systems is essential, since it is a critical water quality metric linked to the presence of organic and inorganic suspended matter. Current monitoring…
Image velocimetry techniques are emerging as a powerful tool for river monitoring, offering the ability to quantify surface flow dynamics while overcoming the structural limitations of traditional monitoring systems. However,…
The assessment of rainfall erosivity is often hindered by the limited availability of high-resolution rainfall data. A large dataset, comprising 10-minute rainfall data collected over the last two decades from…
Eutrophication, driven by nutrient overload, monitored through Chlorophyll-a (Chla) levels in inland and coastal waters. Traditional in-situ methods faced challenges such as time consumption, labor intensity, and spatial-temporal limitations. Remote…
Flood events rank among the most destructive natural hazards, necessitating comprehensive risk management strategies to mitigate their impact on society and the environment. Various approaches have been developed to map…
Water resources in Iraq are considered one of the elements most affected by climate change, especially water bodies, and the loss of water from reservoirs by evaporation is one of…
Given the exponential rise in global plastic production and its significant ecological and socio-economic impacts, monitoring macroplastics in rivers has become a central focus of water management efforts. However, standardized…
In the last decades, the availability of multi-source, multi-scale, and multi-resolution remote sensing data and the consequent progress of processing techniques brought a significant positive impact for landslide detection. As…
The Unsolved Problems in Hydrology (UPH) initiative has emphasized the need to establish networks of multi-decadal hydrological observatories to gain a deep understanding of the complex hydrologic processes occurring within…
Unraveling the intricate spatial and temporal complexities of vegetation represents a crucial key to understanding ecosystem functioning. Drones, as cutting-edge technology, hold immense potential in bridging the gap between on-ground…
