  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. Behind the early warning: Improving impact-based forecasting of riverine floods in Malawi using passive microwave remote sensing

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Lone Mokkenstorm; [2021]
    Keywords : Physical Geography; Ecosystem Analysis; Early Warning; Riverine Floods; Humanitarian Work; Impact-based Forecasting; Malawi; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : This thesis investigates whether freely available, coarse-resolution, Passive Microwave Remote Sensing (PMRS) data (37 GHz) can be effectively used for early warning systems for floods in Malawi. The Shire River Basin in Chikwawa and the smaller-scale North Rukuru River Basin in Karonga were studied using two alternative, ratio-based satellite indices that make use of the signal difference between wet and dry pixel cells: The m index and the rcmc index.
