  1. 1. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Author : Grace Muir; [2023]
    Keywords : Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

    Abstract : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. READ MORE

  3. 2. Estimation of flood risk and cost-effective mitigations : A case study in Tierp

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Anton Blomqvist; Stephanie The; [2023]
    Keywords : Flood risk assessment; EAD; CADSS; MIKE21;

    Abstract : Climate change is predicted to alter the rainfall patterns in the future, and extreme rain events with large rainfall volumes will become more frequent and intense which increases the flood risk. A clear trend can be seen, where more and more people decide to relocate from rural to urban areas. READ MORE

  4. 3. How variations of the duration and time to peak of the Chicago Design Storm affect the hydraulic response, as well as the areas contributing to peak runoff, of a synthetic urban catchment area

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Oskar Ahlstedt; [2022]
    Keywords : Avrinningsområde; översvämningsmodellering; peak-bidragande område; hydrograf; hyetograf; MIKE 21; regnintensitet; CDS-regn; Chicago Design Storm;

    Abstract : With an expanding urbanization in the world, and thus the expansion of impermeable surfaces, the risk of pluvial floods is an increasing factor that needs to be considered. This, in combination with increasing rain intensities and frequency of rain events indicates a problem both today and for the future. READ MORE

  5. 4. Hydrodynamic Modelling of Spread of Perfluoroalkyl Octanoic Sulphonate and Perfluoroalkyl Hexanoic Sulphonate in Lake Ekoln

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Prajwol Prajapati; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrodynamic modelling; water quality; PFAS; PFOS; PFHxS; MIKE 3 FM; Ekoln; Fyrisån;

    Abstract : Per and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found ubiquitously in the environment across the globe.These substances have high persistence due to the strong carbon and fluorine bond. In the aquaticenvironment, due to high persistence, these substances don’t decay easily and are detected on the surfaceas well as in groundwater sources. READ MORE

  6. 5. Hydrodynamic and Eutrophication Modelling of Lake Vomb: Impact of Future Climate Change on Cyanobacteria

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Luft-, vatten- och landskapslära

    Author : Ahmed Elhabashy; [2022]
    Keywords : Hydrodynamic modelling; eutrophication; Cyanobacteria; Chlorophyll-a; climate change; MIKE 3 FM; Lake Vomb;

    Abstract : The increasing frequency of Cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater bodies raise concerns around the globe. The consequences of this phenomenon impact not only human health but the entire surrounding ecosystem. During the past decades, numerical modelling has been increasingly used to investigate and study aquatic systems. READ MORE
