The resilience of urban design to pluvial flood
Resilient urban design has become an essential concern for cities needing to withstand the increasing number of natural and human-induced disasters. Yet cities and their infrastructures are becoming more vulnerable and threatened as flood protection measurements are still following the same line of …

Pluvial Flood Risk Estimation Procedure for Small Urban Watersheds
Pluvial flooding, when runoff causes flooding before it reaches a body of water, is a type of flooding that often is overlooked in flood risk studies. This study outlines a general procedure that can be used to model urban pluvial flood scenarios, estimate damages, and quantify pluvial flood risk …

Spatiotemporal Slip Rate Variations Along Surprise Valley Fault in Relation to Pleistocene Pluvial Lakes
… and were formed during the latest impoundment of pluvial Lake Surprise since the last glacial maximum. Slip rates vary along strike, assuming a fault dip of 68° with 0.25 ± 0.02 mm/yr in the northern section, 1.07 ± 0.10 mm/yr in the central section, and 0.36 ± 0.04 mm/yr in the southern lake …

Time Scales and Processes of Shoreline Formation in Pluvial Lakes of the Great Basin, Western USA
This study examines historical beach deposits formed in Walker Lake, Winnemucca Lake, and Lake Tahoe to characterize the processes that lead to the construction of beach ridges along lacustrine shorelines and compares the volume of individual shoreline features to the lengths of time under which …

Predicting Flood Risks to City Infrastructure Systems Utilizing Scalable, Time Sensitive Modeling
… practice simply changed the flood modeling to pluvial oriented, keeping the rest of the risk tool components identical for the different flood mechanisms. For pluvial flooding, existing urban flood modeling tools such as SWMM and PC-SWMM are limited by their catchment-based approach, neglecting …

Travertine from Egypt's Western Desert: a terrestrial record of North African paleohydrology and paleoclimate during the late Pleistocene
The "Green Sahara" pluvial phases that alternated with North African hyper-aridity during the Pleistocene are well recognized in tropical and Mediterranean marine records. However, comparatively few studies have investigated the terrestrial expression of these pluvials, in part because of the …

Investigating Compound Flood Using Remote Sensing And Hydrodynamic Modeling
… It involves multiple processes (e.g., coastal, pluvial, and fluvial) that can combine to cause more devastation than any process alone, called compound flooding (CF). While hydrodynamic models remain central to flood modeling, recent studies have also implemented remote sensing for flood …
