Abstract
Floods are among the most harmful natural disasters for humans, and rising global temperatures tend to make them more frequent. This paper aims to model flood susceptibility in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, based on the 2019 and 2020 floods. The methodology used in the paper is based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process. The contribution of variables to extreme flood events was calculated to assess the influence of oceanic tides in conjunction with the extreme rainfall. The methodological procedures were mainly based on acquiring data referring to rainfall records, ocean tide oscillations, and other natural-anthropogenic variables. The results showed that ocean tidal oscillation in that region has played a secondary but essential role in flood events. Furthermore, observing ocean tide dynamics and extreme rainfall events is the key combination for explaining, preventing, and forecasting extreme flood events. For future research, it is recommended that the improvement of quality data (geodetic and meteorological) is essential to model flood susceptibility in coastal areas.
Flooding is a recurrent and increasingly severe hazard in the River Benue Basin of Nigeria, driven by intense seasonal rains and upstream dam releases. This study analyzes the spatial and temporal patterns of climate change on flooding in the Benue Basin from 2016 through 2025, with particular focus on peak flood seaso...

The Kelani River basin (KRB) is the highest flooding conditions appeared river basin in Sri Lanka. Based on this, the study investigates the impact of climate resilience on rainfall patterns, temperature, wind speed, and streamflow dynamics of the Kelani River basin in Sri Lanka to enhance flood risk prediction and flo...

Statistics for the Magadan Region show that catastrophic floods occur in the region every year, and the damage from them is estimated at hundreds of millions of rubles. There is no system for short-term forecasting hazardous hydrological phenomena in the region. The study aims to analyze the main factors in the formati...

Timely flood hazard assessment is essential for determining flood risk levels and plays a critical role in flood prevention and mitigation, particularly in extreme rainfall events under global climate change. This study developed a flood risk model (FRM) incorporating sediment deposition as a key factor to address a ga...

Climate change necessitates basin scale assessments in vulnerable countries such as Türkiye due to its impacts on water resources and drought patterns. In this study, precipitation and runoff data up to the year 2100 were analyzed in the Harşit River Basin, one of the subbasins of the Eastern Black Sea Basin, to identi...
