This paper reviews recent progress in the study and understanding of extreme seasonal
events in the Amazon region, focusing on drought and floods. The review includes a history …

As the largest river basin on Earth, the Amazon is of major importance to the world's climate
and water resources. Over the past decades, advances in satellite‐based remote sensing …

Spaceborne digital elevation models (DEMs) are a fundamental input for many geoscience
studies, but they still include nonnegligible height errors. Here we introduce a high‐accuracy …

This book provides a thorough introduction to the use of remotely sensed data for wetland
classification and mapping, as well as information on the latest technological advancements …

Global hydrological models (GHMs) have been applied to assess global flood hazards, but
their capacity to capture the timing and amplitude of peak river discharge—which is crucial …

Abstract The Amazon River basin harbors some of the world's largest wetland complexes,
which are of major importance for biodiversity, the water cycle and climate, and human …

Lack of geospecificity or local relevance is a major limitation in contemporary large-scale
flood modeling frameworks. There is a little practical value for configuring a large-scale …

Where high‐resolution topographic data are available, modelers are faced with the decision
of whether it is better to spend computational resource on resolving topography at finer …

Regional to global river hydrodynamic models are now a reality, and have largely improved
in the recent years due to increasing computation power, remote sensing datasets and new …

Rivers are the great shapers of terrestrial landscapes. Very few points on Earth above sea
level do not lie within a drainage basin. Even points distant from the nearest channel are …
