  1. 1. High tide flooding in near future projections for popular travel destinations

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : David Ebert; [2023]
    Keywords : Physical Geography and Ecosystem analysis; High tide flooding; Projections; Adaptation and mitigation strategies; Lunar precession; Nodal cycle; Cycle of lunar perigee; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : High tide flooding (HTF) is becoming more common in coastal regions of the United States, although this phenomenon remains largely undocumented in published literature from other parts of the world. No matter the emissions scenario over the next decades, sea level rise (SLR) is projected to continue worldwide until at least the end of the 21st century, continually pushing the frequency and severity of HTF.

  3. 2. The role of groundwater in the inundation of a river-connected floodplain : case study of the river Silverån in southeast Sweden

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Stina Bång; [2019]
    Keywords : Groundwater flooding; Groundwater modeling; Flood modeling;

    Abstract : Fluvial flooding has long been recognized as one of the most frequently occurring natural disasters worldwide, with consequences as large economic losses from damages on infrastructure and agriculture, as well as severe impacts on human health. A less known and explored type of flooding is groundwater flooding. READ MORE

  4. 3. The influence of temporal rainfall distribution and storm movement on flood depth in urban pluvial cloud burst modeling

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Michael Henrich; [2019]
    Keywords : Pluvial flooding; cloud burst; flood modeling; MIKE 21; temporal distribution; storm movement; areal reduction factors; ARFs; hyetograph; design storm; CDS; Pluviala översvämningar; skyfall; översvämningsmodellering; MIKE 21; regnmönstrets tidsfördelning; molnrörelse; areal reduktion av nederbörd; ARFs; hyetograph; typregn; CDS;

    Abstract : Pluvial floods are the most difficult and to date least investigated phenomena in urban hydrology. While efforts are being made to increase the knowledge base concerning this type of flooding, a large part of the difficulty lies in the nature of the precipitation. READ MORE

  5. 4. Flood Mapping: Assessing the uncertainty associated with flood inundation modelling. A case study of the Mora River, Sweden

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Isabelle Åberg; [2017]
    Keywords : Flood inundation modeling; hydraulic modeling; HEC-RAS; översvämningskartering; hydraulisk modellering; HEC-RAS;

    Abstract : Expansion of cities and major infrastructure projects lead to changes in land use and river flows. The probability of flooding is expected to increase in the future as a result of these changes in combination with climate change. READ MORE

  6. 5. Development of a Flood Model Based on Globally-Available Satellite Data for the Papaloapan River, Mexico

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Janis Kreiselmeier; [2015]
    Keywords : Flood inundation modelling; shuttle radar topography mission SRTM ; light detection and ranging LiDAR ; LISFLOOD-FP; Remote sensing; Översvämningsmodellering; shuttle radar topography mission SRTM ; light detection and ranging LiDAR ; LISFLOOD-FP; Fjärranalys;

    Abstract : Flood inundation modelling is highly dependent on an accurate representation of floodplain topography. These  remotely  sensed  accurate  data  are  often  not  available  or  expensive,  especially  in  developing countries. READ MORE
