Most research on hydrological risks focuses either on flood risk or drought risk, whilst floods
and droughts are two extremes of the same hydrological cycle. To better design disaster risk …

Geotechnical infrastructure is extensively used for transport and flood defences. Asset
values are significant, with failures causing significant disruption alongside potentially …

This book integrates the physical processes of dam breaching and the mathematical aspects
of risk assessment in a concise manner• The first book that introduces the causes, processes …

Drought‐induced cracking of soils is of great concern with the advent of global climate
change. The cracking process accelerates the evaporation rate of pore water, lowers the …

Relative humidity (RH) is among key environmental and climatic factors that affect the
evolution of soil desiccation cracking. This study aims to investigate how RH variations …

Dike risk management requires breaching parameters that can be estimated rapidly to
support the prediction of inundation zones and decision making. The objectives of this paper …

This study synthesizes the current understanding of the hydrological, impact, and adaptation
processes underlying drought‐to‐flood events (ie, consecutive drought and flood events) …

Nature‐based mitigation is increasingly proposed as a strategy to cope with global change
and related risks for coastal flooding and erosion. Tidal marshes are known to provide …

Understanding levee failures can be significantly improved by analysing historical failures,
experiments and performance observations. Individual efforts have been undertaken to …

World experiences reveal that catastrophic floods are posing a serious threat that comes not
only from them as extreme events but also as the result of adaptation measures …
