This research improves flood prediction by analysing data from more than 3,000 rivers worldwide and using local fitting techniques to compare similar weather events. By relying on relevant historical data rather than human intuition, the model aims to produce more accurate flood forecasts and strengthen disaster preparedness under climate change.

This research examines how hydropeaking dams cause fish stranding due to rapid flow changes. Using camera monitoring and modeling, it identifies environmental factors like substrate type and seasonal fish abundance that increase risk. The work highlights the need to balance renewable energy production with ecological sustainability in freshwater systems.
