Toward Robust Evaluations of Flood Inundation Predictions Using Remote Sensing Derived Benchmark Maps
Remote Sensing‐derived Flood Inundation Maps (RS‐FIM) are an attractive and commonly used source of evaluation benchmarks. In this paper, we investigate several sources of bias in RS‐FIM benchmarking and their effect on model‐predicted FIM (M‐FIM) evaluation results. We do so by comparing M‐FIM evaluation results using a high‐confidence benchmark against degraded benchmarks. The evaluation results show considerable differences in M‐FIM accuracy assessment when using lower‐quality benchmarks. An RS‐FIM enhancement (gap‐filling) procedure is presented, and its effect on FIM evaluation results is analyzed. The results show that the enhancement can significantly improve the robustness of the evaluation, but can also degrade the benchmark when a considerable number of false‐positive grid cells are present in the RS‐FIM. The impact of including/excluding Permanent Water Bodies (PWB) on FIM evaluation results is analyzed. The results show that including PWB in FIM evaluation can significantly inflate the model accuracy. A novel evaluation strategy is proposed, based on excluding low‐confidence grid cells and PWB from the M‐FIM evaluation analysis. Low‐confidence grid cells are those that were estimated to be flooded by the gap‐filling procedure, but were not classified as such by the remote sensing analysis. The results show that the proposed evaluation strategy can considerably improve the robustness of the evaluation. The analyses showcase the many challenges in FIM evaluation. We provide an in‐depth discussion about the need for standards, user‐centric evaluation, the use of secondary sources, and qualitative evaluation.

Against the Invisibility of Old Age: Cindy Sherman, Suzy Lake, and Martha Wilson
Meagher explores recent representations of old and ageing women's bodies in visual art. The focus is on hoe recent self-representations by three white artists, Cindy Sherman, Suzy Lake and Martha Wilson, not only contribute to the expansion of the repertoire of cultural representation of older women, but also offer the opportunity to reflect on the politics of visibility and invisibility as they are theorised within feminist visual studies. Meagher argues that work by Sherman, Lake and Wilson does more than simply render ageing women and ageing women's bodies visible, though they do this well. She argues additionally that the work stands as an important critique of persistent theories of feminine to-be-looked-at-ness circulated in feminist visual studies.

Zero at the Bone: Louise Fishman Speaks with Carrie Moyer
Carrie Moyer: Can you give me a little background on your new paintings?
Louise Fishman: This all came to me in the last couple of weeks. In the late 1980s, early 1990s, my partner and I had gone to Madrid to see the big Velazquez retrospective. I'd never been to the Prado. I spent a lot of time looking at the Velazquez and wandering around the museum.

In Search of Biblical Lands: From Jerusalem to Jordan in Nineteenth-Century Photography
Barnard discusses the selection of the large collection of photographs owned by the Getty Museum and Research Institute. \"In Search of Biblical Lands: From Jerusalem to Jordan in Nineteenth-Century Photography was inspired by the Roman Villa of the Papyri in Herculaneum (Modern Ercolano) and its archaeological excavation.
