2020年3月3日 · Floods are made more likely by the more extreme weather patterns caused by long-term global climate change. Change in land cover—such as removal of vegetation—and climate change increase flood risk. Extreme floods can be triggered by intense precipitation, longer duration, close repetition of precipitations or a combination of these.

2023年11月3日 · As global warming continues to exacerbate sea level rise and extreme weather, flood-prone areas around the country are expected to grow by nearly half in just this century. Here’s how climate...

2020年8月13日 · Results show an intensification of extreme precipitation and flood events over all climate regions which increases as water availability increases from dry to wet regions. Similarly, there is...

2023年7月10日 · When it comes to river floods, climate change is likely exacerbating the frequency and intensity of the extreme flood events, but decreasing the number of moderate floods, researchers...

2025年1月15日 · Flood magnitude has generally decreased in the West, southern Appalachia, and northern Michigan (see Figure 1). Large floods have become more frequent across the Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and northern Great Plains. Flood frequency has decreased in some other parts of the country, especially the Southwest and the Rockies (see Figure 2).

2022年7月6日 · In mountainous regions, three effects of climate change in particular are creating higher flood risks: more intense precipitation, shifting snow and rain patterns and the effects of wildfires...

4 天之前 · This study explores how climate change and population growth shape flood exposure. By 2100, exposure could rise from 1.6 to 1.9 billion people, driven 21% by climate change and 77% by population ...

As Europe battles severe flooding, we ask what role is climate change playing in extreme rainfall? Will floods get worse as global temperatures rise?

2024年5月8日 · Climate change affects three key flood drivers: more intense rainfall, drier soils, and less snow. These trends can increase or decrease inland flooding depending on the location and season.

2024年9月25日 · Central Europe's devastating floods were made much worse by climate change and offer a stark glimpse of the future for the world's fastest-warming continent, scientists say. Storm Boris has...
