One important step for the colonization of Ochlerotatus albifasciatus (Macquart) is to determine the optimal conditions for larval rearing, which makes possible the development of experiments comprising larval rearing in the laboratory. In this research the effect of diet composition on the development of O.albifasciatus was studied. For this purpose, cohorts of 20 first instars were reared usi...

Abstract The Life Safety Model (LSM) is an agent-based model which assists with emergency planning and risk assessments for floods dam failures by providing estimates of fatalities evacuation times. LSM represents the interactions agents (i.e. people, vehicles, buildings) floodwater. helps to increase accuracy loss life times these events taking into account a number parameters are not describe...

Abstract In May 2019, over 50 springs were identified at a sandur-lava field–wetland complex in Southeast Iceland and subset was selected for further investigation including monitoring water levels, discharge, chemistry. Between September the study site had relatively stable levels temperatures (4–5 °C), although heavy rains (>10 mm) corresponded with increased and/or some springs. Toget...

Driving into floodwater is a leading cause of fatal and non-fatal drowning during times flood. The present research aimed to understand drivers’ beliefs intentions in relation driving caused by flash floods an urban area (Newcastle City, Australia), using the theory planned behavior as framework. study (N = 217) used survey-based design identify psychological processes (attitude, subjective nor...

The provision of detailed information on the impact potential fluvial floods urban population health, quantifying magnitude and supplying location areas highest risk to human is an important step towards (a) improvement sustainable measures minimise floods, e.g., by including flood as a design parameter for planning, (b) increase public awareness risks. three new have been proposed, considering...

Cities must develop actions that reduce flood risk in the face of extreme rainfall events. In this study, dynamic resilience Gregorio catchment (São Carlos, Brazil) was assessed. The lacks environmental monitoring and suffers from recurrent floods. curves were made considering water depth drainage system as performance index, obtained by simulations with SWMM HEC-RAS. calibration extension perf...

Abstract Inundation simulation was carried out for an inland depression mainly covered by paddy fields to estimate its flood retention volume. In addition surface water flooding, river flooding combined with it also explored in a wide range of precipitation including 1000-year return period. The results showed that the studied area can retain approximately 60% total inundation Judging from rela...

Vertisols shrink and swell with changes in soil moisture, influencing hydraulic properties. are often floodplains, yet the importance of flooding as a source moisture remains poorly understood. We used blue dye deuterated water tracers to determine role macropore network matrix recharge under artificial flood durations 3 31 days large monoliths extracted from forested soil.

This letter addresses the use of Sentinel-1 time series with aim proposing an automatic and unsupervised coastline detection method that averages dynamical variations coastal areas over a limited period time, e.g., one year. First, we propose applying temporal averaging filter allows in areas, due to tides or vegetation, be encapsulated, and, at same speckle reduced, without decreasing spatial ...
