Hydrological modelling is a valuable tool for researchers in geography and other disciplines
for studying the processes governing impacts of climate change and urban development on …

Floods can be devastating to communities and result in fatalities and injuries, negatively
impacting the economy, and quality of life. This paper presents a review of community …

Definition Natural hazards are processes that serve as triggers for natural disasters. Natural
hazards can be classified into six categories. Geophysical or geological hazards relate to …

Since 1990, natural hazards have led to over 1.6 million fatalities globally, and economic
losses are estimated at an average of around USD 260–310 billion per year. The scientific …

A holistic perspective on changing rainfall-driven flood risk is provided for the late 20th and
early 21st centuries. Economic losses from floods have greatly increased, principally driven …

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 relationships at a grid resolution of …

Flash floods and debris flows develop at space and time scales that conventional
observation systems for rainfall, streamflow and sediment discharge are not able to monitor …

In our era, the rapid increase of parallel programming coupled with high‐performance
computing (HPC) facilities allows for the use of two‐dimensional shallow water equation (2D …

Chapter 3 evaluates observed and projected changes in the frequency, intensity, spatial
extent, and duration of extreme weather and climate events. This physical basis provides a …

To support the transition from traditional flood defence strategies to a flood risk management
approach at the basin scale in Europe, the EU has adopted a new Directive (2007/60/EC) at …
