Chang, Nicole (author)The coast of Paramaribo is predicted to undergo urban expansion due to the growing population of Paramaribo. However, the coast has to do with several challenges; tidal- and urban flooding and coastal erosion. This does not make the coast the most habitable place for urban expansion. The urban, water and soil systems are not functioning in...master thesis 2023

Yin, Hang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Duan, Huan-Feng (author), Savić, Dragan (author), Kapelan, Z. (author)Urban flooding is a major issue worldwide, causing huge economic losses and serious threats to public safety. One promising way to mitigate its impacts is to develop a real-time flood risk management system; however, building such a system is often challenging due to the lack of high spatiotemporal rainfall data. While some approaches (i.e.,...journal article 2022

Huang, Yuan (author), Zhang, Jiangjiang (author), Zheng, Feifei (author), Jia, Yueyi (author), Kapelan, Z. (author), Savić, Dragan (author)Urban drainage models (UDMs) are often used to manage urban flooding. However, these models generally involve many parameters to represent the underlying complex hydrodynamic processes. This results in significant challenges to achieving effective and robust model calibration especially with frequently limited observations, leading to...journal article 2022

Abebe, Y.A. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Vojinovic, Zoran (author), Sanchez, Arlex (author)In this paper, we describe a modelling framework that allows the integration of human and physical components of flood risk. Within this framework, flood risk management is conceptualized as a coupled human-flood system. The human subsystem includes individuals and their behaviour and institutions that shape human-flood interaction. The...journal article 2019
