Mapping Flood Risk & Essential Services in the Pearl River Estuary

A 250-meter grid now reveals where flooding threatens more than land. In the Pearl River Estuary, extreme rainfall and hydrological proximity drive risk, but the real vulnerability lies in the services we depend on. Our explainable machine-learning framework identified priority zones covering just 346.56 km², yet these areas contain 1.49 million people, 6,055 km of roads, and 331 schools. This shifts flood mapping from exposure to action. For another view on data-driven coastal adaptation, see our coverage of "Data Integration Drives Low-Carbon Fisheries in China."
