  1. 1. Hydraulic modelling of the vulnerability for compounding high sea levels and high river discharge on the Swedish coastline

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Author : Hannah Berk; [2020]
    Keywords : Coastal floods; combined compound flood events; fluvial floods; LISFLOOD-FP; hydraulic modelling; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Coastal floodplains are at risk for combined high discharge and sea level events. Consequences when they occur can be several magnitudes greater than the impact from any isolated event. READ MORE

  3. 2. 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

  4. 3. 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.

  5. 4. 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

  6. 5. The Usability of Remote Sensing Data for Flood Inundation Modelling: a Case Study of the Mississippi River

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Åsa Horgby; [2015]
    Keywords : Flood inundation modelling; LISFLOOD-FP; LiDAR; SRTM; remote sensing; hydrology; Översvämningsmodellering; LISFLOOD-FP; LiDAR; SRTM; fjärranalys; hydrologi;

    Abstract : The probability and impact of flooding is projected to increase in the future. This is due to climate and land-use changes (e.g. urbanization) in addition to the ongoing socioeconomic development of many floodplain areas. READ MORE
