Recent advances in flood forecasting and flood risk assessment [PDF]
Hydrology and Earth System Sciences, 2005 Abstract. Recent large floods in Europe have led to increased interest in research and development of flood forecasting systems. Some of these events have been provoked by some of the wettest rainfall periods on record which has led to speculation that such extremes are attributable in some measure to anthropogenic global warming and represent the ...
