Flood Risk Analysis on Terrains
<p>An important problem in terrain analysis is modeling how water flowsacross a terrain and creates floods by filling up depressions. This thesis examines a number of flood-risk related problems. One such problem is answering terrain-flood queries: given a terrain represented as a triangulated …

A Citizen-Science Approach for Urban Flood Risk Analysis Using Data Science and Machine Learning
<p>Street flooding is problematic in urban areas, where impervious surfaces, such as concrete, brick, and asphalt prevail, impeding the infiltration of water into the ground. During rain events, water ponds and rise to levels that cause considerable economic damage and physical harm. The main goal …

On a New Framework for Detecting, Classifying, and Forecasting Floods for Large-scale Flood Risk Analysis
<p>Increasing trends in flooding events are projected to continue as climate changes have increased the chance of extreme weather events. Given the significant, damaging impacts of extreme floods, the ability to effectively model floods is crucial for risk management and mitigation of the impacts …

Evaluating Future Runoff, Water Stress and Fluvial Flooding in China under Climate Change
… in runoff variability, water stress, and fluvial flood hazards under climate change and socioeconomic development. Understanding how these processes may evolve under future scenarios is critical for long-term water resource planning and climate adaptation. However, existing studies often suffer …

A novel approach for large-scale flood risk assessments
In the past, floods were basically managed by flood control mechanisms. The focus was set on the reduction of flood hazard. The potential consequences were of minor interest. Nowadays river flooding is increasingly seen from the risk perspective, including possible consequences. Moreover, the …
