This paper presents an assessment of the implications of climate change for global river flood risk. It is based on the estimation of flood frequency relat
"Climate change could have lots of different impacts on some of these buildings. So some of the buildings might not necessarily have flooding issues, but they may have issues related to moisture and things like that which could have an impact on buildings and artefacts within them,"...
With the assumption of all being equal, these parameter values were applied to simulate future climate- and land-use-change impacts on the runoff of the Mono river. 2.4. Runoff and Flood Scenarios Five scenarios organized in 3 groups are investigated in this study: a base-case scenario, scena...
The hydrological cycle is expected to intensify with global warming, which likely increases the intensity of extreme precipitation events and the risk of flooding. The changes, however, often differ from the theorized expectation of increases in water‐h

This village is located in the lowest zone...
Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 d
It is clear climate change will have wide-ranging effects on the wine world. Some will be felt earlier while others will lie dormant and unnoticed until they arrive in full force. However, one of the most obvious changes will be where grapes can be grown. For centuries, traditional growing...
These projects focused on projections of flood risk in the UK (Sayers et al., 2015), water availability in the UK (HR Wallingford et al., 2015), impact of climate change on UK’s natural assets (AECOM, 2015), and developing climate change scenarios (Wade et al., 2015). As a result...
Since Harris County is large, this corresponds to an estimated 53,616 parcels that would not have been flooded without climate change. Figure 1 shows a map of areas that experienced flood impacts only because of climate change in the 38% scenario. For the lower “best estimate” (20%), ...
It is less clear if, and how, climate change has affected the trend in flood risk. There is no consistent continental-scale climatic change signal in flood discharge observations in Europe7, despite a trend towards increasing floods in northwestern Europe and decreasing flood hazard in southern an...
