Climate variability and rapid environmental change are altering catchment responses, making extreme rainfall, floods, and droughts increasingly unpredictable and damaging. Evolving hydrological dynamics and connectivity patterns challenge prediction tools and require deeper understanding of hydrological responses amid limited observations and uncertainties in models and data. Urbanization amplifies extreme event impacts, while inconsistent estimation/reporting hinder accurate impact of damage assessment. We invite contributions addressing these challenges by advancing knowledge of hydrological responses under changing conditions, extreme event drivers, and flood damage patterns to improve management. Topics include: (i) characterization of hydrological extremes via statistical and nonstationary frequency analysis and probable maximum precipitation/flood estimation; (ii) advances in hydrological modeling and theory; (iii) flood generation mechanisms and catchment responses from experimental, physically based, data-driven approaches, including scalable mapping; (iv) global flood damage and risk analyses, including damage drivers and database gaps; and (v) case studies of extreme events with lessons on resilience.
