Multivariate hydrological frequency analysis and risk mapping
… Amite river basin in Louisiana. And finally, the risk methodology is applied to analyze flood risks. Through the study, it was found that (1) copula method was found reasonably well to be applied to derive the multivariate hydrological frequency model compared with other conventional methods, …

Urban Erosion Potential Risk Mapping with GIS
… a computational procedure to compute relative EP risk throughout a target urban watershed. A case study of the developed methodology was performed on a watershed in Blacksburg, VA, to generate EP risk maps. Results of the study indicate areas of erosive potential within the target watershed and …

Development of Effective Procedures for Illicit Discharge Risk Mapping
… staff and financial resources to conduct. While risk analysis techniques and guidelines have been developed to facilitate MS4 prioritization of field operations, neither a standard set of indicators nor a standard operating procedure has been adopted. This study investigates the relationships …

Development of Effective Procedures for Stormwater Thermal Pollution Potential Risk Mapping
… study provide a theoretical foundation for TPP risk mapping with recommendations for authorities interested in pursuing TPP risk mapping as a tool to guide and focus efforts toward reduction of thermal pollution and land planning.

Risk mapping of eMalahleni municipal area with focus on coal mining impacts
… a practical method for identifying coal-mining risks. By identifying these risks, hazardous areas can be identified and human access to these areas restricted. By restricting these areas, tragic accidents can be prevented. The results that were obtained from this study can also be used by mining …

Risk mapping and ECO-Anthropological assessment of anthrax in the upper Zambezi Basin
Anthrax is an acute and invariably fatal zoonotic disease affecting multi-species and caused by a bacteria, Bacillus anthracis. In Zambia, anthrax has emerged as a serious ecosystem disease resulting in mortalities across humans, livestock and wildlife. The disease has had devastating effects on …

Determining the Influence of Abiotic and Biotic Predictors on Ecological Niche Models
… invasive species control, and disease risk mapping. Despite the importance and growing number of methods and studies incorporating biotic interactors in ENMs, similar developments to evaluate whether model performance is in fact improved by their inclusion are lagging. This is also true …

Mapping under uncertainity : spatial politics, urban development, and the future of coastal flood risk
… coastal flooding and sea level rise, how can risk mapping inform and improve future urban development? The dissertation: (1) positions flood mapping in the larger context of urban risk computation; (2) chronicles and statistically analyzes the nationwide map adoption process; (3) uses spatial …

An ecohydrological impact assessment in urban areas
Over the last decades, the world’s population has been growing at a faster rate, resulting in increased urbanisation, especially in developing countries. More than half of the global population currently lives in urbanised areas with an increasing tendency. The growth of cities results in a …

The role and potential of flood risk management in shaping land use – Flood-peak polders of the Tisza River from the perspective of integrated planning challenges
… polders through the perspective of Spatial Flood Risk Management (SFRM), an emerging approach. The thesis reflects on the issues that gave rise to it, its characteristics, and why and how it can be used to support the implementation of flood risk management projects that require the involvement of …
