Global estimation of bankfull river discharge reveals distinct flood recurrences across climate zones
13 hours ago One of the country’s largest reservoirs hit a record-low surface elevation over the weekend, prompting concerns about critical water and electricity supply for several states, including California. Lake Powell, located on the Arizona-Utah border, dropped to a surface-level elevation of 3,519.91 feet …
Global estimation of bankfull river discharge reveals distinct flood recurrences across climate zones
|
Abstract Bankfull discharge, the maximum flow a river can convey before spilling over its banks, is central to modelling flood risk and understanding river-channel evolution. Global flood inundation models assume a 2-year return period for bankfull conditions, but this assumption remains untested globally. Here we use observations and machine learning to estimate bankfull discharge at ~1-km resolution along a recently developed global river network.

River channel change can affect flood hazard and impact substantially
|
Abstract More than one billion people are exposed to flood risk globally, with this number projected to double by 2050. Global flood models underpin risk assessment and adaptation planning, yet typically assume that river bankfull capacity corresponds to a fixed two-year return period, neglecting spatial and temporal variability in channel characteristics.

Nature on the balance sheet: Accountability for Nature Positive
1 INTRODUCTION The importance of nature to human well-being is well established (e.g. IPBES, 2019), and it is now widely recognised that businesses are fundamentally embedded within natural systems. Business operations, supply chains and products both depend on and impact nature (Carvalho et al., 2023; Smith et al., 2021; World Economic Forum and PwC, 2020). Yet nature continues to decline globally (Diaz et al., 2019), posing growing risks to the global economy (Kedward et al., 2023).
Monetary Accounting of Cultural Ecosystem Services: Recreational Fishing in the Murray-Darling Basin, Australia
1 Introduction Natural capital accounting guided by the United Nations System of Environmental Economic Accounts—Ecosystem Accounting (SEEA EA) framework (United Nations et al. 2024) is increasingly being adopted around the world. The framework recognises that humans derive benefits from ecosystems through the use of ecosystem services that are supplied by ecosystem assets, and aims to capture these benefits in a systematic way.

Aaron Stanislav, 34, is free on a promise to appear in court, engaged in treatment with Veterans Affairs and in a better place than the "crisis moment," he had in January that led to his arrest, public defender Sean Kelly said.

After The Crash: How I Bounced Back From A Slump After My Biggest Professional Win
Greg Smith is the founder and CEO of Thinkific, a leading platform for creating and selling online courses. getty After closing $160 million of funding, I should have been euphoric. Instead, I felt a bit lost and empty. Although it was a few years ago, I remember it vividly as a grueling few months, and while the result was ultimately successful, the seemingly endless days of high-intensity work left me feeling depleted and, honestly, a bit depressed.
The Space Industry Is Booming. Manufacturers Must Catch Up.
The global space economy is projected to grow from about $400 billion today to more than $1 trillion by 2040, according to BCG analysis. To meet that demand, the companies that manufacture satellites, rockets, and other critical space hardware must scale up production dramatically. The So What Currently, manufacturers are limited by their strategy, talent, supply, prototyping, and production processes—problems that they must solve head-on if they are to capitalize on the coming space boom.
Council Post: 3 Pathways To Financial And Time Freedom From Your Business
Greg Smith is the founder and CEO of Thinkific, a leading platform for creating and selling online courses. Success can often be a double-edged sword for entrepreneurs and creators. You spend countless hours building your business based on your unique expertise. You inject it with your core values and personality. Like many business owners, you discover that the more of yourself you put into it, the more you get out—so you work longer and longer hours. That can sometimes lead to burnout.
Council Post: What Creator Businesses Should Know About The Recurring Revenue Model
Greg Smith is the founder and CEO of Thinkific, a leading platform for creating and selling online courses. I have a confession to make. When my cofounders and I first launched our creator-educator course platform, our business model was based on one-off sales and custom course creation. This meant we never had more than six weeks of cash flow in the bank. The lack of financial breathing room was stressful, to say the least.
Fixing CTV Ad Repetition Means Understanding How Ad Tech Enables It
CTV is a growth medium with a frequency problem. Ad repetition is one of the most talked-about CTV topics at trade shows. But it still hasn’t been fixed. Ad frequency is a problem at the campaign level, where CTV viewers can be exposed to the same ad creative across different media channels/streaming platforms well beyond the typical protocol of traditional linear TV. It’s even more annoying when the same ad repeats itself within the same ad pod (commercial break) on the same platform.

Brands, Think FAST and Take Viewers Down the Rabbit Hole
The way YouTube captivated its users with short-form content on desktops and mobile devices over a decade ago is making a comeback – but now with long-form video on CTV devices. Free ad-supported television (FAST) channels give brands the chance to truly engage with viewers, leading them down even deeper rabbit holes and taking them on an ad-supported streaming journey. With FAST channels, advertisers have what is needed to reach audiences at scale and in an efficiently targeted way.
Viewer “Rabbit Holes” Are an Untapped Goldmine for Brands
March 30, 2023 By Greg Smith In the same way that short-form content on platforms like YouTube captivated users over a decade ago, free ad-supported television (FAST) channels can lead their viewers down even deeper rabbit holes with long form content. The ability for FAST channels to truly engage audiences and take them on a journey makes ad-supported streaming an increasingly efficient way for advertisers to reach audiences, at scale and in a contextual and targeted way.
Council Post: Three Key Tips For Scaling Your Creator Business
Greg Smith is the founder and CEO of Thinkific, a leading platform for creating and selling online courses. When I started tutoring students for their law-school entrance exams, my advertising and marketing strategy was just me and my rollerblades. I’d wheel around campus putting up posters advertising my services until I had so many clients I just couldn’t keep up. So, I hired someone else to do the rollerblading, which freed me up to build a website and create online courses.

Council Post: Forget About Goal Setting—Do This Instead
Greg Smith is the founder and CEO of Thinkific, a leading platform for creating and selling online courses. Do I know enough to start a business? Why should people listen to me? Will I make any money? If you’re an entrepreneur or creator, chances are these questions have crossed your mind. Luckily, fear was never a problem when I launched my first online business—just kidding! I’ve yet to meet an entrepreneur who didn’t have something keeping them up at night.
