Investigating flood susceptibility and vulnerability through geospatial techniques in Kerala State, India
A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Flooding is a complex phenomenon caused by various meteorological, hydrological, geomorphological, and anthropogenic factors. Flood susceptibility identifies the most vulnerable areas that are flood prone based on the region's …

Flood risk assessment using multi-sensor remote sensing, geographic information system, 2D hydraulic and machine learning based models
Flooding events threaten the population, economy and environment worldwide. In recent years, several spatial methods have been developed to map flood susceptibility, hazard and risk for predicting and modelling flooding events. However, this research proposes multiple state-of-the-art approaches to …
