TL;DR: In this paper, the first assessment and mapping of the dependence between observed high sea-levels and high river discharge for deltas and estuaries around the globe was provided, and the dependence may influence the joint probability of floods exceeding both the design discharge and design sea-level.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify regions with a high compound flooding potential from river discharge and storm surge extremes in river mouths globally, and provide preliminary insights on the implications of the bivariate dependence behavior on the flood hazard characterisation using Madagascar as a case study.

TL;DR: In this paper, the role of floods in plastic mobilisation was investigated and it was shown that 10-year return-period floods already tenfold the global plastic mobilization potential compared to non-flood conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a global scale assessment of the joint influence of riverine and coastal drivers of flooding in deltas is presented, based on extreme water levels at 3433 river mouth locations as modeled by a state-of-the-art global river routing model, forced with a multi-model runoff ensemble and bounded by dynamic sea level conditions derived from a global tide and surge reanalysis.

TL;DR: The approach uses filtering and geo-statistical methods to take into account that observations in tweets are inherently unreliable, and developed a concept that exploits observed information of the physical characteristics of a flood, such as flood depth and the location.
