Learning from Floods: Linking flood experience and flood resilience

Journal of Environmental Management, 2020
It has been argued that learning from flood experience contributes to flood resilience. However, it is unclear what such a learning process involves, and it is debatable whether flood experience always leads to flood resilience. To bridge this research gap, we develop the Learning from Floods (LFF) model to articulate the process of learning from flood

Extract flood duration from Dartmouth Flood Observatory flood product

2017 6th International Conference on Agro-Geoinformatics, 2017
Climate change has become a hot topic in recent years. Flood is one of the most common natural hazards caused from extreme climate change. Scientists have spent a lot of money and time on monitoring flood in past decades. The development of Remote Sensing and Geographic Information System (GIS) brings new ways for scientists to analyze, monitor, and ...

Floods and flood management in Pakistan

Physics and Chemistry of the Earth, Parts A/B/C, 2012
Abstract Flooding is the most devastating natural hazard in Pakistan and the recent flooding has demonstrated its severeness. Floods are common throughout the country. However, their characteristics differ from region to region. Flooding behavior of the major basins and flood management at the national level are investigated in this article.
