Supporting evidence — 4 representative gaps

• A GeoAI framework for coastal flood risk assessment: integrating remote sensing and socioeconomic data (2026) · Frontiers in Climate · doi

  The study uses a limited dataset and may not be generalizable to other areas. The study does not account for other factors that may affect flood risk, such as land use change. The study uses a simplified approach to predict flood risk and may not capture complex interactions between variables.

• Climate heterogeneity enhances macroclimate data-driven vegetation modeling on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau (2026) · Nature Communications · doi

  The study relies on a specific dataset and may not be generalizable to other regions. The study uses a limited number of environmental variables. The study does not account for other factors that may influence vegetation distribution, such as land use and disturbance.

• Managing flood risk in the UK: towards an integration of social and technical perspectives (2002) · Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers · cited 134× · doi

  Despite the important link between assessments of exposure to flooding (hazard assessments) and issues of societal vulnerability, this link has rarely been explored in detail and has often been reflected in policy terms by a highly technocratic approach to flood risk management.

• A critical review of flood risk assessment in Kerala Post-2018: Methodological approaches, gaps, and future directions (2025) · Journal of Hydrology Regional Studies · cited 17× · doi

  The review identifies critical gaps in the literature, including challenges in translating mitigation strategies, urban flooding stemming from poor land use planning, insufficient integration of various flood sources, and limited research on compound extreme events.
