Lendering, K. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Peters, D.J. (author)New ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or in shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are raised to a level well above mean sea level to assure flood safety. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of good quality fill material often dredged from the sea, which is costly. The alternative...conference paper 2013

Van Ledden, M. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author)Eind oktober 2012 gebeurde wat al jaren was voorspeld: een orkaan treft een groot gebied in het noordoosten van de VS, met uitzonderlijk veel schade en meer dan 130 dodelijke slachtoffers. De vraag is of de Amerikanen meer aandacht gaan krijgen voor preventieve maatregelen.journal article 2013

Ke, Q. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Rijcken, T. (author)Flood damage estimation is essential to flood risk analysis. Flood hazards, values of elements at risk and vulnerability of elements determine flood damage. However, these determinants entail uncertainties. In this study, water depth, values of elements at risk and damage function are selected as three key parameters. The local sensitivity...conference paper 2012

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Kok, M. (author)De recente overstromingen in het buitenland (New Orleans, Thailand, Japan en New York) laten zien hoe groot de maatschappelijke ontwrichting na een overstroming is en wat het belang van een goed waterkeringssysteem is. Hoewel Nederland één van de best beveiligde delta’s in de wereld is, voldoet een derde van onze hoofdwaterkeringen niet aan onze...journal article 2012

(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

Miller, A. (author), Jonkman, S.N. (author), Van Ledden, M. (author)After the catastrophic flooding of New Orleans due to hurricane Katrina in the year 2005, the city’s hurricane protection system has been improved to provide protection against storms with at least a 100 year return period. The aim of this article is to investigate the risk to life in the post-Katrina situation for the New Orleans metro bowl. In...conference paper 2012

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Dawson, R.J. (author)Recent flood-related disasters (Japan, Thailand, US, Australia) emphasize the need for an effective management of flood risks. As an introduction to this special issue, this editorial summarizes some of the key challenges in the field. Flood risk management needs to recognize the interconnections between infrastructures, economic systems and the...journal article 2012

(author)Wide crested dike can reduce the kinetic energy of the overtopping wave and make the overtopping wave to flow back to the seaside. If a coastal town were built on or near a dike, the overtopping wave running on the dike crest generates the force which can affect the buildings located in its path. However, quantifying the hydrodynamic load on the...conference paper 2012

A seminar was held in June 2012 for Japanese and Dutch coastal researchers to discuss lessons for the management of the risks in coastal areas associated with tsunamis, typhoons and storm surges. The seminar has highlighted important practical and...conference paper 2012
