1. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future.

2. Hydrological modelling and flood risk in a data scarce country: Matola, Mozambique
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Flooding is a frequent natural hazard globally that is capable of major damage to society. The hazard is especially prevalent in Mozambique, in which many flood events with negative effects have occurred. Disaster risk management and research is therefore important in the country. However, as a developing country, it is subject to data scarcity. READ MORE

3. Can blue-green infrastructure aid climate change adaptation by preventing flooding?
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The risk of pluvial flooding is going to increase as climate change causes an increase in intense precipitation along with urbanisation leading to an increase in impermeable surfaces. In the last decade, cities such as Malmö and Copenhagen have already experienced severe pluvial flooding that has caused extensive damage. READ MORE

4. Watershed delineation for runoff estimations to culverts in the Swedish road network : a comparison between two GIS based hydrological modelling methods and a manually delineated watershed
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : The anticipated climate changes are predicted to alter the precipitation patterns in Sweden. Increased episodes of intense short-duration rainfall and higher intensities of day long-duration rainfall are expected. Road sections are often a target of flooding, causing impassable roads, due to the lack of capacity of drainage systems. READ MORE

5. Urban flood modelling : a GIS based approach in Lomma, Skåne region
University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapAbstract : Urbanization triggers flooding because it replaces pervious land surfaces with impervious surfaces that have less capacity to infiltrate and store water into the ground. Detailed analysis and modelling of flooding in urban areas can be performed with GIS-based distributed hydrological models. READ MORE
