  1. 1. GIS-based approach to estimate direct economic damages of fluvial flooding under various future scenarios: A case study of the Neckar river basin (Germany)

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Ruben Prütz; [2020]
    Keywords : climate change; flood damage; fluvial flood; GIS; HEC-GeoRAS; HEC-RAS; MOLUSCE; Neckar; river basin; stage-damage; strength of knowledge; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Fluvial floods can cause significant damages to inundated assets. The frequency and magnitude of fluvial floods are related to precipitation amounts, which are expected to change throughout the 21st century due to global warming. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. Sediment transport in Säveån and its implications for erosion and bank stability

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Gasper Sechu; [2015]
    Keywords : HEC-RAS; sediment transport; erosion; bank stability; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This master thesis study is a preliminary investigation of the Säveån River as part of the Swedish Geotechnical Institute’s (SGI) landslide risk assessment project. The main objectives include building a hydrodynamic model for the river, estimating sediment transport along the river, assessing the implications for erosion and bank stability and evaluating climate change effects on sediment transport.
