Lendering, K.T. (author)New container ports are mostly constructed on low lying coastal areas or in shallow coastal waters. The quay wall and terminal yard are then raised to a level well above mean sea level to insure safety against inundation. The resulting ‘conventional terminal’ requires large volumes of good quality fill material often dredged from the sea which...master thesis 2012

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Dawson, R.J. (author)Recent flood-related disasters (Japan, Thailand, US, Australia) emphasize the need for an effective management of flood risks. As an introduction to this special issue, this editorial summarizes some of the key challenges in the field. Flood risk management needs to recognize the interconnections between infrastructures, economic systems and the...journal article 2012

Kolen, B. (author), Hommes, S. (author), Huijskes, E. (author)We claim that, in The Netherlands, emergency management for flooding should be seen as an add on to existing emergency planning. Therefore, some specific preparation is required to minimize loss of life and maximize the use of available information, resources and infrastructure. This booklet discusses this preparation based on the experiences...report 2012

Jonkman, S.N. (author), Jongejan, R.B. (author), Maaskant, B. (author)The Dutch government is in the process of revising its flood safety policy. The current safety standards for flood defences in the Netherlands are largely based on the outcomes of cost-benefit analyses. Loss of life has not been considered separately in the choice for current standards. This article presents the results of a research project...journal article 2011

Rijcken, T. (author), Kok, M. (author)It is possible to reduce flood risk in estuaries without having to drastically modify the river banks by levees or to block shipping routes and ecological flows by dams. ‘Storm surge barriers’ close off a river mouth at times of high sea water levels, but keep the river open during calmer times. ‘Moveable river flood barriers’ direct a river...conference paper 2011

Veerbeek, W. (author), Denekew, H. (author), Pathirana, A. (author), Brdjanovic, D. (author), Zevenbergen, C. (author), Bacchin, T.K. (author)The consequences of urban growth on the exposure, sensitivity but also as a driver of flooding are often underexposed. Yet, the rate of current urbanization is unprecedented and might increase future flood risk dramatically. To gain insight in this issue, a study on urban development has been performed using 3 case study areas: the megacities of...conference paper 2011
