Susceptibility of River Basins to Flooding in Contact Zones Between Mountain Ranges and Coastal Plains: contributions of morphometric indices in the tropical Atlantic region of Southeastern Brazil

The analysis of morphometric parameters has been widely employed to assess flood susceptibility; however, at broader scales, it tends to homogenize and generalize results, concealing relevant local differences. This study aims to investigate flood susceptibility using fifteen morphometric parameters in a GIS environment, at scales ranging from basins and sub-basins up to the sixth order, located…
