  1. 1. Characterization of Landscape Structures and Precipitation in relation to Flooding events in Pampa Deprimida : A Minor Field Study in Argentina

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Linnea Svärd; [2023]
    Keywords : Pampeana hydrology; flood risk mapping; runoff; infiltration; precipitation; SCSCN; remote sensingg; Hydrologi på Pampas; kartläggning av översvämningsrisker; avrinning; infiltration; nederbörd; SCS-CN; fjärranalys; Hidrología de la Pampa Deprimida; cartografía del riesgo de inundaciones; escorrentía; infiltración; precipitación; SCS-CN; sensores remotos;

    Abstract : The purpose of the thesis is to characterize flood events within the agricultural fields of flooding Pampa in Argentina. The characterization divides the flat landscape into flood prone areas and endeavour at linking driving factors to flood response based on past events. READ MORE

  3. 2. Flood modelling in urban areas : A comparative study of MIKE 21 and SCALGO Live

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Evelina Andersson; [2021]
    Keywords : SCALGO Live; MIKE 21; Stormwater Model; Flood Model; Cloudburst; Inundation; Comparative;

    Abstract : Pluvial flooding originating from extreme rainfall is problematic and an increasing issue in Sweden. Higher requirements on adapting cities in urban areas to these challenges have been placed on both municipalities and the county administration. Thus, an increased need for water modelling, both in existing and planned areas have emerged. READ MORE

  4. 3. Integrated hydrodynamic and socio-economic damage modelling for assessment of flood risk in large-scale basin : The case study of Lower Chao Phraya River Basin in Thailand

    University essay from Stockholms universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi

    Author : Phat Pumchawsaun; [2018]
    Keywords : Chao Phraya River Basin; flood risk assessment; 2D hydrodynamic model; fully 2D and coupled 1D 2D numerical methods; KULTURisk methodology; depth-damage functions;

    Abstract : Thailand has been often affected by severe flood events over the past century. The 2011’s Thailand Flood Catastrophe was the costliest in country’s history, and it was ranked to be the second most damaging natural hazard in the world in terms of economic losses. READ MORE

  5. 4. Investigating Inundation Impacts Caused by Extreme Sea Level Rise at Nacka Municipality

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Hilfi Amri; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Numerous efforts have been employed to explore plausible future sea level rise range as well as improving the ice sheet dynamic that was considered as the biggest challenge in sea level projections. These results in the availability of numerous corresponding Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL), a property that exhibits the problem of deep uncertainty. READ MORE

  6. 5. Flood Risk Mapping in Africa: Exploring the Potentials and Limitations of SRTM Data in the Lower Limpopo, Mozambique

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Paulina Bastviken; [2016]
    Keywords : Flood inundation modelling; Africa; SRTM; LISFLOOD-FP; quality analysis; Översvämningsmodellering; Afrika; SRTM; LISFLOOD-FP; kvalitetsanalys;

    Abstract : Many regions in Africa are presently faced with an increasing flood risk due to impending climate change and population growth. One useful mitigation strategy to decrease this risk would be to map it, so that urban planning, warnings systems and emergency response subsequently could be designed to reduce societal vulnerability.
