CLIMATE RESILIENCE OF CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE: Network Modelling for Flood Resilience Assessment and Recovery Optimisation of Urban Rail Transit
A majority of studies on transport resilience assessment employ network modelling to quantify the changes in topological attributes under random or targeted failure scenarios. This approach is insufficient to capture the multidimensionality of infrastructure resilience and falls short in …

Development of a modelling framework for integrated catchment flood risk management
Flooding is one of the most significant issues facing the UK and Europe. New approaches are being sought to mitigate its impacts, and distributed, catchment-based techniques are becoming increasingly popular. These employ a range of measures, often working with the catchment’s natural processes, in …
