Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The frequency and intensity of extreme weather and climate events, such as super typhoons and unprecedented high-intensity rainfall events, have increased significantly. Such extremes have generated disasters like floods and landslides and caused loss of life and property everywhere in the world. For example, the Thailand flood in 2011 caused over hundreds of deaths, millions of people were affected. The economic damage was estimated to be over US$ 40 billion. Hurricane Harvey hit Texas and Louisiana in late August 2017 and caused more than US$ 100 billion worth of damage. A comprehensive hydrologic analysis includes data collection and processing, concepts and theories, computational and analytic tools, and findings. The application of the hydrologic analysis will provide us a deeper knowledge and a better understanding of these events and help us develop efficient strategies and measures to prevent future disasters. This is of crucial importance when lots of countries are severely affected by climate change, and response to the threat of climate change is immediately necessary for global sustainable development.
