“…It therefore seems prudent for countries bordering the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula and the Gulf of Oman to anticipate increasing cyclone risk. There is already an established vulnerability to high waves, storm surge and wadi flooding (Fritz et al ., 2010; Al Ruheili et al ., 2019). For the 1890 cyclone, the last storm to strike NE Oman, hindcast storm surge reached a maximum height of 5.4m (Blount et al ., 2010), whereas Cyclone Gonu in 2007 generated maximum significant wave heights (H s ) of 15m near the Omani coast (Bakhtiari et al ., 2018).…”

Early October 2021 saw Cyclone Shaheen track westward across the far northern Arabian Sea, penetrate the Gulf of Oman and strike the northeast Oman coastline – the first storm to make such a unique landfall in more than 130 years. This paper describes how the unusual cyclogenesis location, favourable initial trajectory and steering, conducive environmental conditions and anomalously warm sea‐surface temperatures were the main influences responsible for Shaheen's extraordinary genesis, intensification and remarkable geographical landfall.

“…Complex phenomena, such as the effect of soil sealing due to the artificialization of the territory, the alteration of the natural hydrographic network of the basins due to changes in land use, or the impact of the barrier effect generated by linear transport infrastructures, have no wide-ranging methodological proposals in the current scientific literature. Several approaches for specific case studies can be found [27][28][29], but comprehensive large-scale evaluation methods from a territorial point of view are still lacking. In this context, this research proposes an analytical method based on the evaluation of GIS indicators using geostatistical and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) algorithms.…”

Climate change is making intense DANA (depresión aislada en niveles altos) type rains a more frequent phenomenon in Mediterranean basins. This trend, combined with the transformation of the territory derived from diffuse anthropization processes, has created an explosive cocktail for many coastal towns due to flooding events. To evaluate this problem and the impact of its main guiding parameters, a geostatistical analysis of the territory based on GIS indicators and an NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) analysis is developed. The assessment of the validity of a proposed methodology is applied to the case study of the Campo de Cartagena watershed located around the Mar Menor, a Mediterranean coastal lagoon in Southeastern Spain. This area has suffered three catastrophic floods derived from the DANA phenomenon between 2016 and 2019. The results show that apart from the effects derived from climate change, the real issue that amplifies the damage caused by floods is the diffuse anthropization process in the area, which has caused the loss of the natural hydrographic network that traditionally existed in the basin.
