A recent UN report describes many regions as facing ‘water bankruptcy, ’ a condition in which available water resources can no longer meet existing demands. In practice, this means irrigation will likely bear the greatest burden of future water‐use reductions, a complicated and fraught decision to make given its critical role in food security. This review paper highlights the growing range of information now available through...

Despite increasing recognition of the severe and compounding risks posed by post-wildfire flooding and debris flows, little is known about available post-wildfire flood and debris flow decision-making frameworks and their effectiveness in disaster response, recovery, and resilience efforts. Throughout this paper we use “floods” as shorthand for post-wildfire flood hazards including water-driven debris flows. Existing scholarsh...

Purpose Many approaches have been used to model chordae tendineae geometries in finite element simulations of atrioventricular heart valves. Unfortunately, current “functional" chordae tendineae geometries lack anatomical fidelity (e.g., branching) that would be helpful when informing clinical decisions. The objectives of this work are (i) to improve synthetic chordae tendineae geometric fidelity to consider branching and (ii)...
