Probabilistic flood forecast model based on remote sensing information

This study aims to explore the possibility of employing remote sensing images to build a probabilistic flood extent forecasting model. This model is constructed and tested in two study areas: New Orleans and Miami. Images that recorded flooding events are first performed with segmentation method Seed Region Growing, and segmented images are...

Overtopping hazard reduction at Churchill Barriers, Scotland

Churchill Barriers, a series of four causeways in Orkney Islands, Scotland were constructed during Second World War and now serve and a critical link for South Ronaldsay and Burray to the Orkney Mainland. Due to their location and design, causeways are exposed to storm waves generated in the North Sea. During coastal storms, some waves are able...
