Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The sound formation of robust environmental policies is increasingly important for low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) to achieve their national objectives and international commitments. However, policy implementation can be complex, and environmental policies may not be prioritised given other critical socio‐economic development issues ...

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Defining Flood Zone Transitions in Low‐Gradient Coastal Regions
Geophysical Research Letters, 2018 Worldwide, coastal, and deltaic communities are susceptible to flooding from the individual and combined effects of rainfall excess and astronomic tide and storm surge inundation.

COASTAL FLOODING-INDUCED DEBRIS MOTION
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 2018 Extreme coastal events such as the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami, the 2011 Tohoku Tsunami as well as the 2005 Katrina and 2012 Sandy hurricanes demonstrated that, hydrodynamic loading aside, debris loading represents a major factor in the extreme loading conditions experienced by inland infrastructure.

Earthquake and Tsunami NaTech Risk Assessment for Oil Storage Facilities
Earthquake Engineering &Structural Dynamics, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Interaction of natural and technological hazards (NaTech) events, such as tsunamis and earthquakes, can affect industrial facilities such as those featuring anchored atmospheric storage tanks. Consequences of natural events on this kind of installation may include the release of hazardous substances, which in turn can lead to industrial ...

Stochastic properties of coastal flooding events – Part 1: convolutional-neural-network-based semantic segmentation for water detection [PDF]
Earth Surface DynamicsThe frequency and intensity of coastal flooding is expected to accelerate in low-elevation coastal areas due to sea level rise. Coastal flooding due to wave overtopping affects coastal communities and infrastructure; however, it can be difficult to ...

COASTAL FLOOD SIMULATION IN STRETCHED COORDINATES
Coastal Engineering Proceedings, 1978 Coastal flooding in developed areas can be catastrophic. As an essential element in coastal water level prediction, a two-dimensional numerical model of long period wave behavior is presented. The time dependency is treated implicitly for cost-effective simulation of coastal flooding from hurricane surges or other hydrodynamic phenomena such as ...

Air pollution exposure during training impairs performance in Thoroughbred racehorses
Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Background Ambient air pollution contributes substantially to human morbidity and mortality, and athletes are recognised as a particularly vulnerable group. However, little is known about the impact of air pollution on equine athletes. Objectives To explore the relationship between air pollution exposure during the pre‐competition training ...
