Effects of return periods on flood hazard mapping: an analysis of the UFSC Campus Basin, Florianópolis city, Brazil

open access: yesRBRH, 2021
The development of urban areas exacerbates flood risk by increasing both runoff and the exposure of population and infrastructure. In this study, we highlight the importance of return period choice on flood hazard degree and flood hydraulics ...

Flood fatality hazard and flood damage hazard: combining multiple hazard characteristics into meaningful maps for spatial planning [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2015
For comprehensive flood risk management, accurate information on flood hazards is crucial. While in the past an estimate of potential flood consequences in large areas was often sufficient to make decisions on flood protection, there is currently an ...
