In the UK, the national flood mapping programme has been designed to alert the public as to the risks that they face in their locality—by a web-based release of the maps—and to identify the total risk facing the country, in order to determine investment priorities and scale of government...
Flood risk mapping and control of development in floodplains in the UK Floods are natural, sometimes disastrous, events that can threaten life, damage property and disrupt communications. Over 10% of the total land area of Eng... YE Sun,D Moore,P Butcher - International Symposium on Flood ...
The sensitivity of flood risk mapping to the major sources of future climate uncertainty were investigated by propagating these uncertainties through a LISFLOOD inundation model of a significant flood event of the North Somerset coast, to the west of the UK. The largest source of uncertainty was fo...
If the risk of flood disasters under climate and land-use changes can be predicted and evaluated, it will be conducive to flood control, disaster reduction, and global sustainable development. This study uses bias correction and spatial downscaling (BCSD), patch-generating land-use simulation (...
Climate change and fluvial flood risk in the UK: More of the same? Hydrol. Process. 2008, 22, 2511–2523. [Google Scholar] [CrossRef] Du, S.; Anton, V.R.; Shi, P.; Wang, J. A dual effect of urban expansion on flood risk in the Pearl River Delta (China) revealed by land-...
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 due to climate change alone under RCP4.5. Ou...
Global flood risk assessment is of great importance for global flood loss reduction. Relevant work has been very limited due to limited global data and largescale models. In this study, we combined the traditional analytical and empirical methodologies to assess global flood risk. The result is ...
Flood is one of the most destructive natural disasters of climate change effects in West Africa. Flood risk occurrence is a combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, which calls for a better understanding of its spatial extent. The aim of this pa
flood risk. The goal of the project was to create flood hazard maps that link the characteristics of the natural environment to the locations of people, structures, and vulnerabilities in a way that better captures the reality of risk. Having maps that better represent risk provides valuable ...
