  1. 1. Assessing the Effectiveness of Urban Trees with Skeletal Soils in Flood Risk Mitigation

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Molly Boberg; [2024]
    Keywords : Flood Management; Climate Adaptation; Nature-Based Solutions NBS ; Urban Trees; Skeletal Soil; Hydrologic Modelling; MIKE; Översvämningshantering; Klimatanpassning; Naturbaserade lösningar; Stadsträd; Skelettjord; Hydrologisk modellering; MIKE;

    Abstract : With increased urbanization and climate change, heavy rainfall events and urban floods are becoming more frequent. To meet the demands for effective climate adaptation strategies and mitigation measures, Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have received increased attention. READ MORE

  3. 2. Flow modeling and bank erosion downstream due to spillway discharge : Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree) 30 ECTS credits

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Avdelningen för beräkningsvetenskap

    Author : Alexander Lindblad; [2022]
    Keywords : Ansys Fluent; Multiphase Flow; Spillway; CFD; Volume of Fluid; Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes;

    Abstract : Dam spillways and downstream areas are used to guide large flows of water during for example heavy rainfall. The large flows give way to turbulent pattern sand velocities that may damage the river banks or the dam structure. Investigation of these water patterns at certain flows are therefore done to examine at risk areas. READ MORE

  4. 3. The influence of spatial variations in rain intensity for cloudburst modelling : a case study of the Gävle cloudburst

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Fanny Jeppsson Stahl; [2022]
    Keywords : Flood modelling; pluvial flooding; spatial variations in rain intensity; design storms; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM; 2D hydraulic modelling; Skyfallsmodellering; pluviala översvämningar; spatiala variationer i regnintensitet; typregn; MIKE 21 Flow Model FM;

    Abstract : With an intensification of heavy rain events in a changing climate and a rapid urbanization the risk for pluvial flooding is increasing in our societies. Pluvial flooding, which is formed when the rainfall rate exceeds the infiltration or drainage rate, can occur rapidly and cause great damages, large economic losses and possibly risk human lives.

    Abstract : Mawira Sitima is a thermal spring located in the village Sitima outside of Liwonde,Malawi. The spring is used by many of the local villagers to take baths, play around and wash clothes. READ MORE

  6. 5. Risk-Informed Development: Barriers and enabling factors in development cooperation in Georgia

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Christine Falta; [2022]
    Keywords : Risk-informed development; Georgia; health sector; integration; climate change adaptation; disaster risk management; sustainable development; Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction; Paris Agreement; Sustainable Development Goals; resilience; risk information; risk management; development cooperation; Social Sciences;

    Abstract : Risk-informed development aims to include complex risks into all levels and phases of decision-making. Going beyond the integration of climate change adaptation and disaster risk management, risk-informed development emerged after the 2015 global agreements (Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction, Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals) and represents a rationale to consider multiple disaster and climate risks simultaneously in societal development.
