Paprotny, D. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Morales Napoles, O. (author)Objectives<br/>Since the beginning of the second industrial revolution in the second half of the 19th century, Europe’s society and economy has been profoundly transformed. The population doubled in the last 150 years, together with more than fourfold increase in number of dwellings and 30-fold increase in production value in real terms. At the...abstract 2017

Kool, J.J. (author), Kanning, W. (author), Jommi, C. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)The hindcasting of levee failures can provide valuable information about levee strength, strength models and dominant factors that contribute to failure. It is however not always clear how and why a levee failed as evidence (such as detail subsoil composition) is not present anymore.abstract 2017

van Berchum, E.C. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author), Brody, S.D. (author)loods can have a huge impact on the regions they affect. The impact of these disasters can be reduced with a flood risk management system. Flood-prone regions often require a combination of interventions to reduce the risk to an acceptable level. The amount of risk reduction provided by various interventions can be quantified using probabilistic...abstract 2017

Lendering, K.T. (author), Sebastian, Antonia (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Floods are the costliest and deadliest weather-related disaster globally. With higher population density in flood prone areas, increased urban development, and projected climate impacts, the frequency and severity of flooding in Europe is predicted to rise. While permanent flood defences have been shown to be more economically effective and...abstract 2017

Vuik, V. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author)Salt marshes are a characteristic feature of estuaries and coastal seas. They are found in the upper coastal intertidal zones between land and water, which are regularly flooded by tides and surges. They are covered with salt-tolerant vegetation types, such as herbs and grasses. Sheltering from continuous intense hydrodynamic forcing by waves...abstract 2016

(author)De afgelopen jaren (2010 - 2015) zijn er in Nederland vele in het oog springende waterbouwkundige projecten gerealiseerd. Aansprekende voorbeelden betreffen onder meer Maasvlakte 2, de Zandmotor, de ontpoldering van de Noordwaard en de omlegging van de Zuid-Willemsvaart. Ook in de lokale watersystemen zijn diverse interessante projecten gebouwd....book 2016

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van Berchum, E.C. (author)Many coastal areas around the world are densely populated and at risk from flooding, but utilize different strategies to deal with coastal hazard. This chapter summarizes how Dutch concepts for coastal flood risk reduction have been explored for Galveston Bay. Firstly, it is shown how risk-based screening methods can help to evaluate various...book chapter 2022

(author)This paper presents an assessment of the multi-layered safety system in Tohoku, Japan based on the tsunami disaster of March 2011. The performed analysis has been based on data provided by local researchers and field observations. First an overview of the tsunami behaviour along the affected coastline of Tohoku is presented, which shows clearly...conference paper 2012

Klerk, W.J. (author), Kok, M. (author), de Bruijn, K.M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), van Overloop, P.J. (author)In the Netherlands, flood risk analysis is usually carried out for a location, without considering potential flood defence failures in upstream areas. This may result in significant over- or underestimation of flood risks. The effect of upstream failures on failure probabilities and flood risks in other areas is called load interdependence of...conference paper 2014

Lendering, K.T. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Kok, M. (author)During flood events emergency measures are used to prevent breaches in flood defences. However, there is still limited insight in their reliability and effectiveness. The objective of this paper is to develop a method to determine the reliability and effectiveness of emergency measures for flood defences. The investigation is focused on measures...conference paper 2014

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author), Maaskant, B. (author), Vrijling, J.K. (author)The Dutch government is in the process of revising its flood safety policy. The current safety standards for flood defences in the Netherlands are largely based on the outcomes of cost-benefit analyses. Loss of life has not been considered separately in the choice for current standards. This article presents the results of a research project...conference paper 2011
