Human activities have changed the ecosystems, and, hence, it is important to determine ways to predict these consequences to enable the preservation and restoration of these key areas. Furthermore, extreme events attributed to climate change are becoming more frequent, aggravating the entire scenario and introducing ulterior uncertainties for the accurate and efficient management of these areas to protect the environment, as well as the health and safety of people. Climate change is altering the rain and extreme heat, as well as inducing other weather mutations. All these lead to more frequent natural disasters such as flood events, erosions, and contamination and spreading of pollutants. Therefore, efforts need to be devoted to investigating the underlying causes, and to identifying feasible mitigation and adaptation strategies to reduce the negative impacts on both the environment and citizens. In support of this aim, the selected papers in this book covered a wide range of issues that are mainly relevant to the following: i) the numerical and experimental characterization of complex flow conditions under specific circumstances induced by the natural hazards; ii) the effect of climate change on the hydrological processes in the mountainous, river and coastal environments, iii) the protection of ecosystems and the restoration of areas damaged by the effects of the climate change and human activities.Research & information: generalbicssccheck damhydrologic responsesediment transportInHMLoess Plateaustratification effectinertia effectsecondary flowmeanderingsediment laden flowspier scournon-uniform sedimentarmor layerequilibrium scour depth processesclear water scour conditionsuffusioninternal stabilitygrain size distribution (GSD)ecological operationmulti-scaledecomposition-coordinationhydrologic alterationsembankmentsovertopping failurematerial point methodwater–soil interactionsnumerical simulationSPH (Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics)water-related natural hazardssediment scouringdense granular flowfast landslidesurge waveflooding on complex topographyHPC (High Performance Computing)FOSS (Free Open Source Software)climate changewater levelscauses and implicationsQinghai Lake, Tibetan Plateaurainfall patternsrainfall-runoffsoil erosionslope lengthslope gradientnon-homogeneous debris flowviscous coefficientsintermittent debris flowsenergy conversionfocusing waveswave amplitude spectraspace-time parameterexperimental investigationsInVEST modelwetlandecosystem service assessmentvalue analysisschistosomiasis preventionISPHliquid sloshingwater jet flowimpact pressureexcitation frequencyNavier-Stokes equationSST k-ω turbulence modelvortex-induced vibration (VIV)Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) methodfinite element method (FEM)rock–soil contact areafissure flowkarst rocky desertificationrunoffrainfall simulationSmooth Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH)porous mediamathematical modelcoastal structureocean and engineeringturbulenceemergent vegetationflexible vegetationrigid vegetationcoherent structuresshear layerelastic actuator line modelOpenFOAMNREL 5 MW wind turbineaeroelastic performancecheck dam systemsedimentary landflood controldam breakSWESPHopenMPnumerical modellingcomputational timeexperimental modellingscouringsmoothed-particle hydrodynamicsfloodingdam-breakdebris flowsurban evolutionnatural hazardResearch & information: generalShao Songdongedt1328776Luo MinedtRubinato MatteoedtZheng XingedtPu Jaan HedtShao SongdongothLuo MinothRubinato MatteoothZheng XingothPu Jaan HothBOOK9910557104803321Advances in Modelling and Prediction on the Impact of Human Activities and Extreme Events on Environments3038930UNINA
