Lashley, Christopher H. (author), Roelvink, D. (author), Van Dongeren, Ap R. (author), Buckley, Mark (author), Lowe, Ryan J. (author)The accurate prediction of extreme wave run-up is important for effective coastal engineering design and coastal hazard management. While run-up processes on open sandy coasts have been reasonably well-studied, very few studies have focused on understanding and predicting wave run-up at coral reef-fronted coastlines. This paper applies the short...journal article 2018

Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Voortman, H.G. (author), Klerk, W.J. (author), van Vuren, S. (author)This article highlights recent developments in flood risk management in the Netherlands and presents approaches for reliability analysis and asset management for flood defences and hydraulic infrastructure. The functioning of this infrastructure is of great importance for the country as large parts of it are prone to flooding. Based on a...journal article 2018

Hadi Mosleh, Mojgan (author), Turner, Matthew (author), Sedighi, Majid (author), Vardon, P.J. (author)Uncertainties exist on the efficiency of CO<sub>2</sub> injection and storage in deep unminable coal seems due to potential reduction in the permeability of coal that is induced by CO<sub>2</sub> adsorption into the coal matrix. In addition, there is a limited knowledge about the stability of CO<sub>2</sub> stored in coal due to changes in...journal article 2018

Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Iuchi, Kanako (author)Students of hydraulic engineering, geotechnical engineering, transport infrastructure, urban drainage engineering and urbanism studied the recovery of the city of Yuriage using the goal integration method. Much can be learned from the bold approach of the Japanese to disaster reconstruction and fighting shrinkage in regional spatial planning.journal article 2018

Ham, P.H. (author)Urbanisation in Southeast Asia has to cope with land subsidence, rain floods, clogged rivers, storm surges and typhoons. On particular locations, like in the deserted fish ponds in the Manila Bay Area in the Philippines, floating housing can be an attractive building style. PhD researcher Pieter Ham and Finch Floating Homes are inspired by...journal article 2018

Sayol España, J.M. (author), Marcos, M. (author)This study presents a novel methodology to estimate the impact of local sea level rise and extreme surges and waves in coastal areas under climate change scenarios. The methodology is applied to the Ebro Delta, a valuable and vulnerable low-lying wetland located in the northwestern Mediterranean Sea. Projections of local sea level accounting...journal article 2018

Lendering, K.T. (author), Schweckendiek, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)Polders in the Netherlands are protected from flooding by flood defence systems along main water bodies such as rivers, lakes or the sea. Inside polders, canal levees provide protection from smaller water bodies. Canal levees are mainly earthen levees along drainage canals that drain excess water from polders to the main water bodies. The...journal article 2018

Li, L. (author), Voskov, D.V. (author), Yao, Jun (author), Li, Yang (author)The potential of well test technology is discussed in this paper to estimate the miscible condition and displacement fronts position during CO<sub>2</sub> flooding. To interpret the multiphase well test curve of CO<sub>2</sub> flooding process, an accurate compositional numerical model is developed in this study. The model includes fully EoS...journal article 2018

Raso, L. (author), Weijs, S. V. (author), Werner, M. (author)Uncertainty reduces reliability and performance of water system operations. A decision-maker can take action, accepting the present uncertainty and facing its risks, or reduce uncertainty by first obtaining additional information. Information, however, comes at a cost. The decision-maker must therefore efficiently use his/her resources,...journal article 2018

Ke, Q. (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author)Shanghai, as a coastal city, is vulnerable to various types of flooding. The floodwalls along the Huangpu River provide protection against typhoon-induced flooding. However, there is limited insight into the actual safety level of the flood defences in Shanghai, and recent failures have highlighted their vulnerability. Therefore, the aims of...journal article 2018

Klijn, F. (author), Asselman, Nathalie (author), Wagenaar, Dennis (author)The Netherlands has just finished implementing the Room for the Rivers program along the Rhine and Meuse Rivers in response to increasing river discharges. Recently, making more room for the river is, however, being challenged for future application because the flood defenses are assessed to be too weak and will need reinforcement anyway. To be...journal article 2018

Klijn, F. (author), Asselman, Nathalie (author), Mosselman, E. (author)There is increasing attention for the robustness of systems, in view of more frequent and more extreme weather events. Calls to increase a system's robustness are usually motivated by the resulting reduced sensitivity to extreme events and uncertainties about their probability of occurrence. The concept has been elaborated for flood risk systems...journal article 2018

Ward, Philip J. (author), Couasnon, Anais (author), Eilander, Dirk (author), Haigh, Ivan D (author), Hendry, Alistair (author), Muis, Sanne (author), Veldkamp, Ted I.E. (author), Winsemius, H.C. (author), Wahl, Thomas (author)When river and coastal floods coincide, their impacts are often worse than when they occur in isolation; such floods are examples of ‘compound events’. To better understand the impacts of these compound events, we require an improved understanding of the dependence between coastal and river flooding on a global scale. Therefore, in this letter,...journal article 2018

van Berchum, E.C. (author), Mobley, William (author), Jonkman, Sebastiaan N. (author), Timmermans, Jos (author), Kwakkel, J.H. (author), Brody, Samuel D. (author)Large, complex coastal regions often require a combination of interventions to lower the risk of flooding to an acceptable level. In practice, a limited number of strategies are considered and interdependencies between interventions are often simplified. This paper presents the Multiple Lines of Defence Optimization System (MODOS)‐model. This...journal article 2018

Kolen, B. (author), van Gelder, P.H.A.J.M. (author)It is important for decision-makers in emergency response situations to determine the scope, scale, timing, path and resettlement area of an evacuation decision when there is an imminent threat of flooding. In this paper, a method called the "Evacuation Diagram" is described to support risk-based evacuation planning and decision-making. In...journal article 2018

Pearson, S.G. (author), Storlazzi, C.D. (author), van Dongeren, A. R. (author), Tissier, M.F.S. (author), Reniers, A.J.H.M. (author)Many low-elevation, coral reef-lined, tropical coasts are vulnerable to the effects of climate change, sea level rise, and wave-induced flooding. The considerable morphological diversity of these coasts and the variability of the hydrodynamic forcing that they are exposed to make predicting wave-induced flooding a challenge. A process-based...journal article 2017
