DESCRIPTION:Flooding is one of the most damaging natural disasters\, intens
 ified by climate change\, urban development\, and land-use changes. Effect
 ive flood monitoring and management are crucial to mitigating the negative
  impacts\, especially in regions with complex hydrological dynamics. This 
 study focuses on the Kupa River basin in Croatia\, a flood-prone region\, 
 and presents an integrated approach for flood mapping and climate impact a
 ssessment using open-source Earth observation (EO) data and free tools. Co
 mbining a different remote sensing datasets\; Sentinel-1 Synthetic Apertur
 e Radar (SAR)\, Sentinel-2 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI)\,
  and Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Station data (CHIRP
 S) precipitation datasets\, all accessed through Google Earth Engine (GEE)
 \, this research demonstrates a cost-effective and scalable solution for m
 onitoring flood dynamics and climate change insights on a focused area. Se
 ntinel-1 SAR\, with its cloud-penetrating capabilities\, is used to detect
  surface water changes\, while Sentinel-2 through the NDVI complemented ve
 getation health before and after flood events. CHIRPS data\, with daily pr
 ecipitation estimates\, contextualizes the meteorological conditions that 
 contribute to flooding. The integration of these datasets offers a compreh
 ensive analysis of flood events and their environmental impacts\, providin
 g actionable insights for local flood management and climate change adapta
 tion. The use of open-access and freely available data and free tools high
 lights the potential for replicable flood monitoring in regions with limit
 ed infrastructure\, further supporting the development of early-warning  s
 ystems and informed decision-making.
