Evolving dynamics and impacts of floods
- Submission status

Floods are the most frequent and costly natural hazard worldwide and the dynamics of floods are constantly evolving in response to meteorological, climatic, and landscape changes. This collection is dedicated to high-quality research on all aspects of coastal, pluvial, and fluvial flooding. The articles published in this collection explore the drivers and mechanisms for flooding across different timescales, and their interaction with society and environment. We invite submissions spanning a wide range of flood drivers, including tsunamis, heavy rainfall, storm tides and waves, sea-level rise, groundwater, and compound events.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the:
• characteristics of complex flood events and their impacts,
• attribution of flood events to climate,
• trends and risks of flooding on decadal to millennia timescales,
• influence of climate change and/or urban development on changes in hydrometeorological hazards and floods,
• interactions between geomorphological changes and floods,
• role of natural ecosystems and natural-based solutions in modulating flood behaviors.
We welcome studies incorporating observational methods, process-based/physical modeling, and/or statistical approaches on floods from local to global scales.
Keywords: Coastal flooding, Inland flooding, Compound flooding, Sea-level rise, Climate change, Urban development, Nature-based solution
