A probabilistic framework for the quantification of vegetation effects on the failure mechanisms of Dutch river dikes

River floods are becoming increasingly devastating because of climate change (more frequent and extreme rainfall), population growth and the increasing economic importance of river basins. This situation requires maintenance and strengthening of flood-defence systems.<br/><br/>Adding certain types of vegetation at precise locations for their...

The Application of Bayesian Network Model: Quantifying Riverine Flood Hazard in the Java Island

Characterizing flood hazard at two spatial scales with the use of stochastic models: An application to the contiguous United States of America and the Houston Ship Channel

Flooding is the most common and one of the most damaging natural hazards globally. It has severe societal, economic and environmental consequences. Damages from floods are expected to worsen with changing climate and increasing population andwealthworldwide. Within the last decades, advances in computational power and increases in the number of...
