Stochastic urban pluvial flood hazard maps based upon a spatial-temporal rainfall generator [PDF]
, 2015 It is a common practice to assign the return period of a given storm event to the urban pluvial flood event that such storm generates. However, this approach may be inappropriate as rainfall events with the same return period can produce different urban ...

How urban form impacts flooding
Nature Communications, 2023 Abstract Urbanization and climate change are contributing to severe flooding globally, damaging infrastructure, disrupting economies, and undermining human well-being. Approaches to make cities more resilient to floods are emerging, notably with the design of flood-resilient structures, but relatively little is known about the role of
