Maheng, M.D. (author), Bhattacharya, Biswa (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Pathirana, Assela (author)The increasing global population and in-country migration have a significant impact on global land use land cover (LULC) change, which reduces green spaces and increases built-up areas altering the near-surface radiation and energy budgets, as well as the hydrological cycle over an urban area. The LULC change can lead to a combination of hazards...journal article 2024

Baron, Edward A. (author), Mendoza Cabanzo, Carlos (author), Bento, Ana Margarida (author), Matos, Jose C. (author), Calçada, Rui (author), Gavin, Kenneth (author)Europe’s historic masonry arch bridges are culturally and economically significant, but their long-term safety must be ensured. Scour effects are the most common cause of collapse, so it is necessary to carry out structural assessments to mitigate the risk and prevent potential failures. In this study, a metamodel-based method was used to...journal article 2024

Tierolf, Lars (author), Haer, Toon (author), Athanasiou, Panagiotis (author), Luijendijk, Arjen (author), Botzen, W. J. Wouter (author), Aerts, Jeroen C.J.H. (author)In this study, we present a novel modeling framework that provides a stylized representation of coastal adaptation and migration dynamics under sea level rise (SLR). We develop an agent-based model that simulates household and government agents adapting to shoreline change and increasing coastal flood risk. This model is coupled to a gravity...journal article 2024

(author), Savic, Dragan (author), Shao, Tan (author), Huang, Wei Min (author), Zhao, Tongtiegang (author), Chen, Xiaohong (author)Low-lying coastal cities are vulnerable to compound floods caused by many factors including river flows, tides and local rainfall. Many previous studies focus on the impacts of rainfall and tidal levels (two driving factors) on estuaries or regions near the main single river, while research about the three influencing factors on the floods...journal article 2024

(author)In recent years, dam failures have occurred frequently because of extreme weather, posing a significant threat to downstream residents. The establishment of emergency shelters is crucial for reducing casualties. The selection of suitable shelters depends on key information such as the number and distribution of affected people, and the...journal article 2024

(author), Stoorvogel, Marte M. (author), van den Berg, M. (author), Kroeze, Carolien (author), van Loon-Steensma, Jantsje M. (author)Coastal flood managers seek to anticipate future flood risk and as a result consider the adaptation of flood defences. Instead of crest heightening, dikes can be adapted to include hydrodynamic reducing vegetated foreshores to form a nature-based hybrid flood defence, for instance; at managed realignments. In this study we investigated the...journal article 2024

Alvarez, A. C. (author), Bruining, J. (author), Marchesin, D. (author)Carbonated water flooding (CWI) increases oil production due to favorable dissolution effects and viscosity reduction. Accurate modeling of CWI performance requires a simulator with the ability to capture the true physics of such process. In this study, compositional modeling coupled with surface complexation modeling (SCM) are done, allowing...journal article 2024

Corzo Perez, Gerald Augusto (author), Sanchez Tapiero, Diego Ivan (author), Contreras Martínez, Manuel Antonio (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author)The rapid growth of impervious areas in urban basins worldwide has increased the number of impermeable surfaces in cities, leading to severe flooding and significant economic losses for civilians. This trend highlights the urgent need for methodologies that assess flood hazards and specifically address the direct impact on pedestrians, which...journal article 2024

Ersoy, A. (author), Brand, A.D. (author), van Bueren, Ellen (author)Increasing resilience to flooding is a complex process that requires horizontal and vertical coordination between institutions in policy making and implementation. This paper explores the effect of institutional coordination on managing flood risk in two cities plagued by flooding. Our results show that efforts on building urban flood resilience...journal article 2024

Lin, Weibin (author), Sun, Yimin (author), Nijhuis, S. (author)Floods are common and inevitable natural disasters. Achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 11.5 is a critical challenge for coastal cities, especially those in deltaic lowlands such as in the case of Guangzhou, China. Regarding the spatial planning and design of such urban regions, it is crucial to study the impacts of flooding in compact or...journal article 2024

van der Vegt, N. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), Peters, D.J. (author), van Gent, M.R.A. (author), Hofland, Bas (author)Initial damage, caused by previous wave loading or other events, might affect the hydraulic stability of pattern-placed revetments. Three common types of damage are considered in this study. The effect of this assumed initial damage on the hydraulic stability and failure probability of revetments is quantified using a FEM model. This model is...journal article 2024

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Curran, A.N. (author), Bouwer, L. M. (author)Floods are amongst the most frequent disasters in terms of human and economic impacts. This study provides new insights into the frequency of loss of life at the global scale, mortality fractions of the population exposed to floods, and underlying trends. A dataset is compiled based on the EM-DAT disaster database covering the period 1975...journal article 2024

(author)Subtropical coastlines are impacted by both tropical and extratropical cyclones. While both may lead to substantial damage to coastal communities, it is difficult to determine the contribution of tropical cyclones to coastal flooding relative to that of extratropical cyclones. We conduct a large-scale flood hazard and impact assessment across...journal article 2024

den Heijer, F. (author), Podt, Maarten (author), Bosch-Rekveldt, M.G.C. (author), de Leeuw, Annemargreet (author), Rijke, Jeroen (author)Flood defences are often situated in public spaces and are mostly multi-functional, multi-financed and multi-managed. Cooperation in flood defence asset management is important because roles and responsibilities are fragmented within and between organisations. This complex context calls for mutual understanding from responsible role-holders....journal article 2023
