  1. 1. Evaluation of a change detection approach to map global flood extents using Sentinel-1

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Axel Risling; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood mapping; global flood models; synthetic aperture radar; cloud-computing; change detection; Översvämningskartering; globala översvämningsmodeller; syntetisk aperturradar; molntjänster; förändringsdetektering;

    Abstract : Floods are the most frequent disaster in the world and flood exposure is increasing globally. Flood mapping of past events can be a useful aid in not only disaster risk management, but also in evaluating and validating global flood models (GFMs) which are being used to assess and predict these floods.

  3. 2. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Author : Shawn Pace; [2021]
    Keywords : Geography; GIS; Climate Change; Sea-Level Rise; Urban Infrastructure; DEM; London; Mumbai; Bangkok; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Abstract : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.

  4. 3. Sensitivity analysis of pluvial flood modelling tools for dense urban areas : A case study in Lundby-Lindholmen, Gothenburg

    University essay from Luleå tekniska universitet/Institutionen för samhällsbyggnad och naturresurser

    Author : Johanna Eriksson; [2020]
    Keywords : Flood Modelling; MIKE FLOOD; Sensitivity Analysis;

    Abstract : As a result of the global climate change, extreme precipitation is occurring more frequently which increases the risk of flooding, especially in urban areas. Urbanisation is widely discussed regarding urban flooding where an increase of impervious surfaces limits the infiltration and increases the surface runoff. READ MORE

  5. 4. Potentialities of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in Hydraulic Modelling : Drone remote sensing through photogrammetry for 1D flow numerical modelling

    University essay from KTH/Byggvetenskap

    Author : Andrea Reali; [2018]
    Keywords : UAV; remote sensing; structure from motion; photogrammetry; 1D steady flow hydraulic numerical modelling; hydraulic modelling;

    Abstract : In civil and environmental engineering numerous are the applications that require prior collection of data on the ground. When it comes to hydraulic modelling, valuable topographic and morphology features of the region are one of the most useful of them, yet often unavailable, expensive or difficult to obtain.

  6. 5. Investigating Inundation Impacts Caused by Extreme Sea Level Rise at Nacka Municipality

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Hilfi Amri; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Numerous efforts have been employed to explore plausible future sea level rise range as well as improving the ice sheet dynamic that was considered as the biggest challenge in sea level projections. These results in the availability of numerous corresponding Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL), a property that exhibits the problem of deep uncertainty. READ MORE
