Temporal and Spatial Dynamics of Water Resources: Impacts on Natural Hazards
暫譯: 水資源的時間與空間動態：對自然災害的影響

本書全面探討水資源的時間與空間動態，以及其對自然災害所造成的影響。瞭解水資源在不同時間尺度與地理區域中的變異性與分布情形，是降低各地區脆弱性的當務之急。這些波動會對生態系統、農業、都市基礎設施以及整體水資源安全造成重大影響。本書銜接水文科學、氣候變異與風險評估之間的知識缺口，從跨學科角度闡述水文系統與極端事件之間的交互作用。

本書涵蓋水文模型、氣候變遷的影響、降水與河川流量的時空變異，以及遙測與地理統計學（geo-statistics）在水資源管理中的作用等重要主題。

本手冊專為研究人員、水文學家、環境科學家與政策制定者設計，可作為理解及降低水相關自然災害風險的重要參考資料，同時促進永續水資源管理策略的發展。

Saeid Eslamian received his PhD in Civil and Environmental Engineering from University of New South Wales, Australia in 1998. Saeid was a Visiting Professor at Princeton University and ETH Zurich in 2005 and 2008 respectively. He has contributed to more than 1K publications in journals, conferences, and books. Eslamian has been appointed as 2-Percent Top Researcher by Stanford University for total careers. Currently, he is a full professor of Hydrology and Water Resources and Director of Excellence Center in Risk Management and Natural Hazards, Isfahan University of Technology. His scientific interests are Floods, Droughts, Water Reuse, Climate Change Adaptation, Sustainability, and Resilience.

Yaser Sabzevari has a strong academic background in hydrology and extensive experience in watershed modeling. He has spent the past several years conducting field-based and data-driven research on the interplay between water resources and environmental hazards. His PhD work included the analysis of snowmelt dynamics, drought impacts, and flood modeling using tools such as Arc-SWAT and GIS-based approaches. He has published peer-reviewed articles in both national and international journals and has actively collaborated with regional water authorities and research institutions. These experiences have provided him with a comprehensive understanding of how spatial and temporal water variability affects the natural hazard risk, knowledge he aims to make accessible and actionable in this book.

Faezeh Eslamian holds a PhD degree in Bioresource Engineering from McGill University, Canada as well as a bachelors and masters degree in Civil and Environmental engineering. She has more than 15 years of experience in managing various multidisciplinary projects including soil and groundwater caraterisation and soil remediation, hydrogeology, water and wastewater treatment and numerical modeling. Dr. Eslamian is strong analytical thinker who proposes sustainable solutions and has developed innovative products and strategies to mitigate environmental problems. She has more than 40 publications including journal papers, book chapter as well as handbooks.

Saeid Eslamian 於 1998 年取得澳洲 University of New South Wales 土木與環境工程博士學位。Saeid 曾於 2005 年及 2008 年分別擔任 Princeton University 與 ETH Zurich 的訪問教授。他在期刊、研討會及書籍中發表的研究成果超過 1,000 篇。Eslamian 獲 Stanford University 評選為整個職業生涯排名前 2% 的頂尖研究人員。目前，他是 Isfahan University of Technology 水文學與水資源領域的正教授，以及風險管理與自然災害卓越中心主任。他的研究興趣包括洪水、乾旱、水資源再利用、氣候變遷調適、永續性與韌性。

Yaser Sabzevari 具備深厚的水文學學術背景，並擁有豐富的流域模擬經驗。過去數年間，他持續進行以田野調查及資料分析為基礎的研究，探討水資源與環境災害之間的交互作用。他的博士研究涵蓋雪融動態、乾旱影響，以及使用 Arc-SWAT 和以 GIS 為基礎的方法進行洪水模擬。他曾在國內外期刊發表多篇同儕審查論文，並積極與區域水資源主管機關及研究機構合作。這些經驗使他全面了解水資源在空間與時間上的變異如何影響自然災害風險，而這項知識正是他希望透過本書傳達，並使讀者能夠實際應用的內容。

Faezeh Eslamian 取得加拿大 McGill University 生物資源工程博士學位，並擁有土木與環境工程學士及碩士學位。她具備超過 15 年管理各類跨領域計畫的經驗，研究與工作範圍包括土壤與地下水特性分析、土壤整治、水文地質學、水與廢水處理，以及數值模擬。Eslamian 博士具備出色的分析思維，致力於提出永續解決方案，並已開發出可降低環境問題影響的創新產品與策略。她已發表超過 40 篇研究成果，包括期刊論文、書籍章節及手冊。
