At a global scale, intertidal areas are being reclaimed for agriculture as well urban expansion, imposing high human pressure on the coastal zone. The Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta (GBD) is an exponent of this development. In delta, land reclamation accelerated in 1960's to 1980's, when polders were constructed subject regular marine flooding. A comprehensive analysis tidal channel evolution southwest GBD reveals how leads amplification, shoaling, bank erosion, and interaction between channels...
This paper shares an early-career perspective on potential themes for the upcoming International Association of Hydrological Sciences (IAHS) Scientific Decade (SD). opinion synthesizes six discussion sessions in western Europe identifying three that all offer a different hydrological threats world faces and could serve to direct broader community: “Tipping points thresholds hydrology,” “Intensification water cycle,” “Water services under pressure.” Additionally, four trends were...
<title>Abstract</title> Tides exert strong control over flooding and ecological processes in estuaries, yet their dynamics are often altered by human activities such as dredging land reclamation. Using archival modern records from 25 estuaries worldwide, we assess human-driven changes tidal timescales of decades to centuries, the coast landward estuarine boundaries. Over past two local interventions have typically amplified ranges (mean maximum increase 110%), accelerated propagation 42%),...

Water-level measurements, sometimes spanning centuries, offer a valuable historical perspective. Although contemporary tidal data is collected digitally at high frequencies, records often merely consist of basic and low water levels. Recognizing the value these low-resolution records, recent 'data rescue efforts' focus on digitizing preserving them. Current analysis methods, optimized for high-frequency data, fall short in exploiting potential high- low-water observations.Here, we introduce...
Abstract Climate change is expected to increase the frequency and magnitude of river floods. Flood flows not only cause direct damage by inundation, but also jeopardize infrastructure as a consequence bank failure bed erosion processes that are poorly understood. The increased human exposure floods has resulted in flood safety programs mainly focused on dikes widening. Here, we demonstrate explain how extreme peak embanked rivers, nonuniformly engineered avoid flooding, can unexpected...
