Flood hazard assessment is a fundamental step in flood risk mapping. Quantitative
assessment requires hydrodynamic modelling of the flooding process in order to calculate …

Increasing human pressures on coastlines and associated threats posed by sea-level rise
have stimulated development of a range of different concepts and methodological …

With the growth of cities, urban flooding has increasingly become an issue for regional and
national governments. The destructive effects of floods are magnified in cities. Accurate …

The flooding in Bangladesh during monsoon season is very common and frequently
happens. Consequently, people have been experiencing tremendous damage to properties …

Bangladesh experiences frequent hydro-climatic disasters such as flooding. These disasters
are believed to be associated with land use changes and climate variability. However …

This work proposes a new approach by integrating statistical, machine learning, and multi-

In the present study, the impact of land use–land cover (LULC) change and urbanization on
floods are investigated for an expanding urban catchment of the Oshiwara River in Mumbai …

Based on the data of physical geography and social economy, an index system of
Wuchengxiyu Region was constructed with the disaster-inducing factors, disaster-pregnant …

Natural hazard terminologies with existing models of vulnerability, hazard, and risk are
presented in this chapter. A conceptual framework has been developed based on hazard …

The process of urbanization has changed LULC patterns which have a strong influence on
flood risk and resulting economic losses from flood events. This study intends to assess the …
