Abstract. Compound flooding, where the combination or successive occurrence of two more flood drivers leads to a greater impact, can exacerbate adverse consequences particularly in coastal–estuarine regions. This paper reviews practices and trends compound research synthesizes regional global findings. A systematic review is employed construct literature database 279 studies relevant flooding context. explores types events their mechanistic processes, it terminology throughout literature. Considered are six (fluvial, pluvial, coastal, groundwater, damming/dam failure, tsunami) five precursor environmental conditions (soil moisture, snow, temp/heat, fire, drought). Furthermore, this summarizes methodology study application trends, as well considers influences climate change urban environments. Finally, highlights knowledge gaps discusses implications on future practices. Our recommendations for (1) adopt consistent approaches, (2) expand geographic coverage research, (3) pursue inter-comparison projects, (4) develop modelling frameworks that better couple dynamic Earth systems, (5) design coastal infrastructure with compounding mind.

Coastal regions, increasingly threatened by floods due to climate-change-driven extreme weather, lack a comprehensive study that integrates coastal and riverine flood dynamics. In response this research gap, we conducted bibliometric analysis thorough visualization mapping of studies compound flooding risk in cities over the period 2014–2022, using VOSviewer CiteSpace analyze 407 publications Web Science Core Collection database. The analytical results reveal two persistent topics: way explore return periods or joint probabilities drivers statistical modeling, quantification with different through numerical simulation. This article examines critical causes flooding, outlines principal methodologies, details each method’s features, compares their strengths, limitations, uncertainties. paper advocates for an integrated approach encompassing climate change, ocean–land systems, topography, human activity, land use, hazard chains enhance our understanding mechanisms. includes adopting Earth system modeling framework holistic coupling components, merging process-based data-driven models, enhancing model grid resolution, refining dynamical frameworks, comparing complex physical models more straightforward methods, exploring advanced data assimilation, machine learning, quasi-real-time forecasting researchers emergency responders.

Abstract Climatic extremes have historically been seen as univariate; however, recent international reports highlighted the potential for an increase in compound climate events (e.g., hot and dry events, recurrent flooding). Despite projected frequency of adoption event terminology, few studies identify little evidence exists on societal impacts these events. This scoping review summarizes key findings knowledge gaps current state empirical that focus We identified 28 eligible published four databases reporting sectors: agriculture, public health, built environment, land use. Overall, we found need more research explicitly linking to impacts, particularly across multiple rather than single case study also noted several findings, including changes agricultural productivity, loss habitat, increased fire risk, poor mental health outcomes, decreased care access, destruction homes infrastructure from Additional is needed both globally locally understand implications different geographic regions populations ensure responsive adaptation policies a framework.

Abstract Tropical cyclones (TCs) generate substantial damage raising concerns about how climate change may amplify their impacts. However, linking changes in TC characteristics (wind, precipitation) to shifts flood hazards and exposure, particularly due the interaction of multiple drivers, is challenging. In this study, we use highly resolved physics-based models investigate flooding from three recent TCs North South Carolina would under 4 degrees Celsius warming. Runoff processes are largest contributor total extent both present future. relative contribution compound increases future, expanding upriver beyond floodplain where runoff previously occurred isolation.

To calculate warning thresholds for compound-flooding events triggered by heavy rainfall coupled with storm tides in Taiwan's coastal urban areas, we applied copula-based analysis to observation data collected from 2001 till 2022 Taipei City and New developed an empirical formula that accounts both the capacity of drainage infrastructure, which partially depends on sea level varies over time, amount precipitation. Compared against flood detectors, our predictions exhibited accuracy 85.2 % 78.8 City, respectively, thus improving upon 62.8 68.5 success rates estimated using only hourly accumulated rainfall. These promising preliminary results suggest reliable warnings tidal-basin regions can be expedited employing inputting sea-level values ensemble typhoon storm-surge forecasts.

Eastern North Carolina (ENC) has been buffeted by compound coastal water events (CCWEs) making residential buyouts, that seek to move households and communities out of flood risk areas, an important hazard mitigation tool. However, little is known about the experiences local public officials implementing buyout programmes in rural regions such as ENC United States. Using data from focus group interviews conducted with 24 emergency managers, planners, elected officials, other we examine perspective officials. According while property attachment, social ties community, financial considerations are key drivers for owners considering a buyout, governance remains complex lengthy process lacking adequate communication leads uncertainties during buyout. The uncertainty can be temporal, economic, or related housing security. recommend providing alternative options small simplifying streamlining along improving throughout cycle mitigate programme.
