River floods frequently occur when tropical cyclones hit land. Nonetheless, systematic, long-
term discharge data remain rather scarce in many tropical countries, which prevent proper …

Compound flooding, characterized by the co‐occurrence of multiple flood mechanisms, is a
major threat to coastlines across the globe. Tropical cyclones (TCs) are responsible for …

In recent years, the United States has been severely affected by numerous tropical cyclones
(TCs) which have caused massive damages. While media attention mainly focuses on …

The present paper examines flood risk (composed of hazard, exposure, and vulnerability) in
a range of spatial perspectives–from the global to the local scale. It deals with observed …

Fluvial floods are typically investigated as' events' at the single basin-scale, hence flood

The increasing frequency of tropical cyclones, such as typhoons and localized heavy
rainfall, increases the risk of flood damage in urban areas around the world. Countries …

Flood type classification is an optimal tool to cluster floods with similar meteorological
triggering conditions. Under climate change these flood types may change differently as well …

Tropical cyclones are one of the most catastrophic natural disasters, regularly affecting
