Urban Flood Mapping Using SAR Intensity and Interferometric Coherence via Bayesian Network Fusion
Remote Sensing, 2019 Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) observations are widely used in emergency response for flood mapping and monitoring. However, the current operational services are mainly focused on flood in rural areas and flooded urban areas are less considered.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The sound formation of robust environmental policies is increasingly important for low‐ and middle‐income countries (LMICs) to achieve their national objectives and international commitments. However, policy implementation can be complex, and environmental policies may not be prioritised given other critical socio‐economic development issues ...

Policy Integration for Enabling Environments: Decentralised Water Technologies for Rural Water Reuse
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Water reuse holds significant promise for addressing global water challenges, yet wide scale implementation remains limited. Decentralised water technologies for reuse have been highlighted as a potential aide in the reduction of water challenges, specifically for environments that have typically been considered ‘water rich’, and in rural ...

Orchestration of Climate Action in Municipalities: A Collective Capacity Approach
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Municipalities are increasingly positioned as key actors in enabling local climate action, yet their ability to mobilise societal actors remains insufficiently understood. This study examines how municipal officials in six Finnish municipalities from different local contexts understand and operationalise collective capacity for climate action,

A Novel Multilevel Conceptual Framework for Flood Risk Governance
Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Globally, flood risk is increasing as climate change progresses. Contemporary flood risk management practice often utilises hydrodynamic modelling (for hazard risk assessments), social vulnerability assessments, and risk communications in silo, which fragments evidence‐based decision‐making for effective flood risk management. We hence develop

Scenario-based urban flood forecast with flood inundation map
Tropical Cyclone Research and Review, 2019 The objective of this study is to introduce how to apply the urban flood forecast with numerous flood inundation map scenario in Korea. In modeling of urban flood, drainage networks 1D model like SWMM (Storm Water Management Model) used to analysis ...

Urban floods: a case study in the Savigliano area (North-Western Italy) [PDF]
, 2011 Flood processes and effects are examined, concerning two rivers in an urbanized area in North-Western Italy (Piedmont – Cuneo Plain). In May 2008, some areas in Northern Italy were struck by intense and persistent rainfall.

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how farmers perceive and respond to climate policy risk in the context of drought and argues that understanding such responses is as important as understanding farmer reactions to the biophysical impacts of climate change.

Representing future urban and regional scenarios for flood hazard mitigation [PDF]
In this paper we analyse urban and regional growth trends by using dynamic spatial models. The objective of this approach is twofold: on the one hand to monitor sustainable development trends and on the other hand to assess flood risk in urban areas.
