GFF (Global Flood Forecasting)

Introduced by Brandon Victor et al. in Off to new Shores: A Dataset & Benchmark for (near-)coastal Flood Inundation Forecasting27 Sep 2024 archive 2025-07-28

Floods are among the most common and devastating natural hazards, imposing immense costs on our society and economy due to their disastrous consequences. Recent progress in weather prediction and spaceborne flood mapping demonstrated the feasibility of anticipating extreme events and reliably detecting their catas- trophic effects afterwards. However, these efforts are rarely linked to one another and there is a critical lack of datasets and benchmarks to enable the direct forecast- ing of flood extent. To resolve this issue, we curate a novel dataset enabling a timely prediction of flood extent. Furthermore, we provide a representative evaluation of state-of-the-art methods, structured into two benchmark tracks for forecasting flood inundation maps i) in general and ii) focused on coastal regions. Altogether, our dataset and benchmark provide a comprehensive platform for evaluating flood forecasts, enabling future solutions for this critical challenge.

Papers archive 2025-07-28

4 shown of 4 papers with a leaderboard row on this dataset's benchmarks, newest first. The archive's own "papers using this dataset" list was never published, so this is the benchmark-backed subset; the archive's count for this dataset is 6. The Syntology column is from Syntology's graph (read 2026-09-24), stated per sample; it is not part of any archive number.
