Flood Risk Analysis on Terrains
… 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 xy-monotone surface, a rain distribution and a volume …

Collaborative Flood Risk Governance at Property Scale: the Challenges and Discourse around Property Level Flood Risk Data in England
Flooding in the UK is reported to become a more severe and localised phenomenon in the future due to climate change (EA, 2009b; Evans et al., 2004) and the population growth (DEFRA and EA, 2006a). To date, it has been estimated that one in six properties in England and Wales is at risk of flooding …

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 …

MODELLING, ASSESSMENT, AND REDUCTION OF FLOOD RISK IN NEPAL
There is a lack of modelling methods for flood risk assessment models that are applied for data-scarce flood-prone areas and where flood risk is quantified as economic damage. In addition, there is a lack of flood risk assessment models towards flood risk reduction in data-scarce flood-prone areas …

Challenges of Transformative Adaptation: Insights from Flood Risk Management
… of successfully responding to climate change risks. Discussions surrounding adaptation have, until recently, placed emphasis on incremental change as a means of dealing with climate risks. However, increased attention is now being paid to transformative adaptation given the current scale of …

Pluvial Flood Risk Estimation Procedure for Small Urban Watersheds
Pluvial flooding, when runoff causes flooding before it reaches a body of water, is a type of flooding that often is overlooked in flood risk studies. This study outlines a general procedure that can be used to model urban pluvial flood scenarios, estimate damages, and quantify pluvial flood risk …

Rural Land Management Impacts on Catchment Scale Flood Risk
… between rural land management and downstream flood risk. The recent increase in flood frequency and magnitude has been hypothesised to have been caused by either climate change or land management. The theoretical basis for why these factors might increase flood risk is well known, but showing …

Essays on Real Estate, Flood Risk, and Political Sentiment
… chapters that investigate how climate change, flood risk, and political sentiment influence outcomes in housing markets.</p> <p>Chapter 1: This chapter offers a brief review and discussion of several recent and seminal papers at the intersection of flood risk, climate change, and real estate, …

Improving the economic evaluation of flood risk management studies
… for improving the economic evaluation of flood risk management (FRM) studies. The most common types of FRM infrastructure in the United States (U.S.) are dams and levees. The FRM infrastructure in the U.S. is aging with a large number of dams and levees now more than 50 years old and in …

Modelling of future flood risk across Canada under climate change
… into a macro-scaled hydrodynamic model: CaMa-Flood to simulate 25 km resolution daily streamflow across Canada for historical (1961-2005) and future (2061-2100) time-periods. Future changes in flood-hazard as a consequence of changes in flooding frequencies of historical 100-year and 250-year …

Data-Driven Method to Improve High Resolution Flood Risk Assessments
… of natural hazards necessitates comprehensive risk assessments at regional to national scales. Floods are among the most destructive natural disasters, causing significant losses to both social and environmental systems. This dissertation addresses key gaps in current vulnerability and flood …

Evaluation of Adaptation Options to Flood Risk in a Probabilistic Framework
Probabilistic risk assessment (PRA) has been used in various engineering and technological fields to assist regulatory agencies, and decision-makers to assess and reduce the risks inherent in complex systems. PRA allows decision-makers to make risk-informed choices rather than simply relying on …

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 …

Communities, Institutions and Flood Risk: Mobilising Social Capital to Enhance Community Resilience
… All three communities were vulnerable to tidal flooding and links between the communities and institutions responsible for managing flood risk (FRM framework) were analysed. In the analysis, a specific form of social capital was studied: social capital derived from community-institution links …
