Debris Hazard Assessment in Extreme Flooding Events
2020Coastal areas are often important to economic, social, and environmental processes throughout the world. With changing climate and growing populations in these areas, coastal communities have become increasingly vulnerable to extreme flooding events, such as tsunami, storm surges, and flash floods.

Processing Remote Sensing Data for Flood Hazard Assessment
Computing in Civil Engineering (2005), 2005In environmental engineering numerical simulations are essential for analyses, forecasts and decisions. Usually, numerical simulations in hydrodynamics are based upon the finite element or the finite differences method. The quality of these numerical simulations depends strongly on the approximation accuracy of the topography.

Flood risk and hazard assessment on Lulu Island
1986Lulu Island contains most of the Municipality of Richmond. Richmond is a growing community with 100,000 population located south of the city of Vancouver in the Fraser River estuary. The flood hazard from both the sea and the Fraser River are well known and to protect against it, an extensive diking system has been built.

Accounting for Spatial Dependencies in Flood Hazard Assessment
Flood hazard assessments commonly employ either scenario-based or event-based approaches, assuming uniform return periods for peak flows throughout the entire watershed. However, due to the spatial and temporal heterogeneity inherent in flood events, relying on uniform scenarios can yield inaccurate outcomes.Ana Maria Rotaru, Alessio Radice

Rainfall fields simulation to improve flood hazard and flood risk assessment
2014Probabilistic flood hazard mapping often consist in estimating the flood quantile of the desired return period up- stream a stretch, and run a hydraulic model down to the next confluence, where a next flood quantile is to be estimated. This allows to draw monofrequency maps, where the frequency is the same but contributions at a con- fluence are not ...
