This review provides a broad overview of the current state of flood research, current
challenges, and future directions. Beginning with a discussion of flood-generating …

Governing risks is not only a technical matter, but also a matter of ethical and societal
considerations. In this article, we argue that in addition to scientific and technical …

Study region A large, densely populated area nearby Padova (Veneto Region, Italy) is
exposed to floods owing to the Brenta-Bacchiglione river network, which is formed by two …

Fluvial flood risk systems are characterized by complex interactions and feedbacks as well
as subject to changes of hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Disregarding spatial and …

A comprehensive assessment of flood hazards will necessitate a step-by-step analysis,
starting with hydrometeorological examinations of runoff and flow, followed by an …

The assignment problem (AP) is a discrete and combinatorial problem where agents are
assigned to perform tasks for efficiency maximization or cost (time) minimization. AP is a part …

With climate change leading to sea level rise and frequent occurrence of extreme weather
events, extreme flood disasters occur frequently in coastal cities, especially under the …

To support equitable adaptation planning, quantitative assessments should consider the
fairness of the distribution of outcomes to different people. What constitutes a fair distribution …

Abstract Robust Decision Making (RDM) is an established framework for decision making
under deep uncertainty. RDM relies on the idea of “scenario neutrality”, namely that decision …

Accurate and reliable estimates of water levels are essential to assess flood risk in river
systems. In current practice, uncertainties involved and the sensitivity of water levels to these …
