Landslides are geomorphological processes that shape the landscapes of all continents,
dismantling mountains and contributing sediments to the river networks. Caused by …

The conventional means to record hydrological parameters of aflood often fail to record an
extreme event. Remote sensingtechnology along with geographic information system (GIS) …

Understanding factors associated with flood incidence could facilitate flood disaster control
and management. This paper assesses flood susceptibility of Perlis, Malaysia for reducing …

This paper presents an automatic algorithm for mapping floods. Its main characteristic is that
it can detect not only inundated bare soils, but also floodwater in urban areas. The synthetic …

Very high resolution synthetic aperture radar (SAR) sensors represent an alternative to
aerial photography for delineating floods in built-up environments where flood risk is …

Climate change projections foresee an increasing number of intense precipitation events
with consequent flash and riverine floods. An accurate and rapid mapping of these …

Flooding is one of the most frequent and disastrous natural hazards triggered by extreme
precipitation, high river runoff, hurricane storm surges, and the compounding effects of …

In this paper, an automatic near-real time (NRT) flood detection approach is presented,
which combines histogram thresholding and segmentation based classification, specifically …

Wetlands are an important natural resource that requires monitoring. A key step in
environmental monitoring is to map the locations and characteristics of the resource to better …

This paper describes a synergetic use of satellite radar images and ancillary information to
detect flooded areas at their peak and evaluates its potential with mapping. The procedure …
