"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,...
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
FLOOD controlREGIONAL planningClimate change has exerted a significant global impact in recent years, and extreme weather-related hazards and incidents have become the new normal. For Taiwan in particular, the corresponding increase in disaster risk threatens not only the environment but also t...
However, it is not just the hot, dry arid wine regions that are at threat. New Zealand stands to suffer in the fall-out from climate change. Since 1909, the temperature has increased a full one degree Celsius and, as Gambetta states, an increase of a full two degrees is more than lik...
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
Northwest, also called the Pacific Northwest, region in the northwestern United States that includes the states of Oregon and Washington and parts of Idaho. The region is known for its spectacular beauty, valuable natural resources, wet climate, and prog
This section discusses important aspects to consider when dealing with maps that show the effects of climate change. The schema inFigure 9summarizes the key aspects of the discussion in three categories: the first covers map design choices, addressing the question of how to visualize the topic, ...
It's that time of year again: students and their families are busy preparing for the start ofschool, while some of us are gearing up to step in front of the classroom. While preparing to teach an intro course onclimate, I'm reminded of why we use the termclimate changeand not global...

River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key adaptation strategies to reduce flood risk across Europe based on flood risk m
