Managing flood risk, ie both the hazard and the potential consequences, is an important
aspect of adapting to global change and has gained much traction in recent decades. As a …

Statistical distributions of flood peak discharge often show heavy tail behavior, that is,
extreme floods are more likely to occur than would be predicted by commonly used …

Numerical modelling is a reliable tool for flood simulations, but accurate solutions are
computationally expensive. In recent years, researchers have explored data-driven …

We present a prototype of the flood early warning system (EWS) developed within the
UrbanFlood FP7 project. The system monitors sensor networks installed in flood defenses …

Fragility curves are becoming increasingly common components of flood risk assessments.
This report introduces the concept of the fragility curve and shows how fragility curves are …

This study focuses on development and application of a new modeling approach for a
comprehensive flood hazard assessment along protected river reaches considering dike …

Comprehensive flood risk assessment studies should quantify the global uncertainty in flood
hazard estimation, for instance by mapping inundation extents together with their confidence …

Sea level rise (SLR) and subsidence are expected to increase the risk of flooding and
reliance on flood defenses for cities built on deltas. Here, we combine reliability analysis …

Abstract On 27 June 2006 the Council of the European Union reached political agreement
on a draft directive on the assessment and management of flood risks. This directive …

In this paper we present the R egional F lood M odel (RFM), a process‐based model
cascade developed for large‐scale basins. The objective of this study is to demonstrate that …
