ABSTRACT

Due to the topography, floodplains are widely distributed in the Amur River basin, which covers an area of 2.05×10⁷ km². However, as a border river between Russia and China, the lack of continuous embankments and reservoirs for flood regulation in the basin is one of the reasons for the increased flood risk. The study of historical flood events is the basis for flood risk management. Two basin-wide mega-floods occurred in Amur River in 1998 and 2013. In this study, the characteristics of these two floods were detected by remote sensing combined with geographic information analysis to provide basic data support for flood risk management in the Amur River basin.
