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

Using GIS to Evaluate the Effects of Flood Risk on Residential Property Values [PDF]
, 2000 Annually, flooding causes more property damage in the United States than any other type of natural disaster. One of the consequences of continued urbanization is the tendency for floodplains to expand, increasing flood risks in the areas around urban ...

Identifying landscape patterns at different scales as driving factors for urban flooding
Ecological IndicatorsClimate change and rapid urbanization have led to increasingly frequent urban flooding, causing substantial losses. While previous studies have examined the impact of land use types on flooding, few studies have explored how the spatial distribution and ...

, 2014 Senegal is located in the Sahel region of West Africa. Between 1970 and 2000, the country suffered prolonged droughts that contributed to rural exodus. Communities in these peri-urban areas, already among the poorest in the country, are the most vulnerable to episodes of heavy rainfall and ...

Impact of Land Use/Land Cover Changes on Urban Flooding: A Case Study of the Greater Bay Area, China
IEEE Journal of Selected Topics in Applied Earth Observations and Remote SensingUrban flooding caused by heavy rainfall is a common natural hazard in cities globally. Impervious surfaces are often increased during urban development, but there is limited research on the impact of large-scale and long-term land use/land cover (LULC ...

Journal of Futures Markets, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This paper uses GARCH‐MIDAS to predict US natural gas futures volatility using national and state‐level Climate Concern Indexes (CCIs). We find that both national and state‐level CCIs positively affect price volatility. Notably, models using state‐level data—specifically those utilizing least‐squares (LS) weighting combinations—surpass the ...
