Monitoring flood risk evolution: A systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesiScience
Summary: Land-use change, climate change, human interventions, and socio-economic developments influence the evolution of the risk components hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, and consequently of flood risk.

Flood hazard and flood risk assessment at the local spatial scale: a case study

open access: yesGeomatics, Natural Hazards & Risk, 2016
With regard to minimizing flood damage, there are measures of different character each of which has its justification and plays an important role in flood protection.

Stochastic generation of spatially coherent river discharge peaks for continental event-based flood risk assessment [PDF]

open access: yesNatural Hazards and Earth System Sciences, 2019
We present a new method to generate spatially coherent river discharge peaks over multiple river basins, which can be used for continental event-based probabilistic flood risk assessment.

Flood risk management through a resilience lens

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment, 2022
To prevent floods from becoming disasters, social vulnerability must be integrated into flood risk management. This Comment advocates that the welfare of different societal groups should be included by adding recovery capacity, impacts of beyond-design ...

Applicability of the Goda–Takahashi Wave Load Formula for Vertical Slender Hydraulic Structures

open access: yesJournal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2020
Vertical slender hydraulic structures such as sluices, navigation locks, or storm-surge barriers are often dynamically loaded by waves. For a safe and economic design, an accurate description of the wave loads is needed.

Hydrodynamic system behaviour: its analysis and implications for flood risk management

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2016
Knowledge on the different components of flood risk has much improved over the last decades, but research which fully takes into account not only the interactions between those components but also between different areas in a catchment or delta is still ...
