  1. 11. Extreme Value Analysis of Flooding Related Parameters for Halmstad

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Ruixiao Jin; [2022]
    Keywords : extreme value; GEV fitting; Halmstad; return level; seasonal variation;

    Abstract : Floods is a serious concern across Europe due to the enormous material damage and death toll. Of alltypes of floods, flash floods and large-scale river floods have become major natural hydrological hazardsin most countries. READ MORE

  3. 12. Combining Continuous and Event-based Hydrological Modeling in Kävlinge River Basin with HEC-HMS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Wenli Hu; [2022]
    Keywords : HEC-HMS; SCS-CN; Climate Change; GIS; Flood; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Prediction of flood and evaluation of the impact of climate change in a catchment needs to be correctly estimated, which can be accomplished by hydrological modelling in HEC-HMS. In this paper, the objectives were to gain an understanding of the rainfall-runoff process and estimate the flood frequency curve in the Kävlinge River Basin. READ MORE

  4. 13. Impact of Extreme River Flows on Bridges An Application to River Lagan in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden Using HEC RAS

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Assad Mohammad Tahir; [2022]
    Keywords : HEC RAS; Extreme River Flow; River Bridges; Ljungby; Lagan; Climate Change.; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour.

  5. 14. Case Study of Discharge Modeling for Nissan River in Halmstad Municipality

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Federico Vega Ezpeleta; [2022]
    Keywords : Machine learning; Random Forrest Regression; Linear Regression; Discharge modeling; ERA5; CMIP6;

    Abstract : Changes in precipitation patterns, temperature, and other climatic variables have been shown to modify thehydrological cycle and hydrological systems, potentially resulting in a shift in river runoff behavior and an increasedrisk of floods. There have been several instances of devastating floods throughout Europe’s history, which haveresulted in devastation and enormous economic losses. READ MORE

  6. 15. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.
