A typology of responsibility for coastal flood risk adaptation

Appraisal of adaptation to river and coastal flood in Bilbao

Mainstreaming adaptation in infrastructure development is a crucial component of building resilience to climate change impacts. This Insight presents an appraisal of economic projects to support the assessment of adaptation options to river and coastal flooding in the city of Bilbao in Spain. The economic methodology to incorporate uncertainty into decision-making processes considers three appr...

Effect of spatial adaptation measures on flood risk in the coastal area of Flanders

Assessing Future Flood Hazards for Adaptation Planning in a Northern European Coastal Community

From a transdisciplinary approach in the town of Thyboron, Denmark, we investigate couplings between sea state (i.e., mean and extreme) and flooding hazards today and ahead. This includes analyses of change and variability in the groundwater table, precipitation, land motion, geotechnical ground properties, sewerage systems and other infrastructure to outline a more complete platform for the in...

The use of flood risk map for flood management (urban area of Nekarood)

Flood is considered as a major threat among natural disasters in the world. This case becomes more important and has a higher risk in urban areas due to the existence of important uses. Therefore, to reduce damages resulted from flood, this phenomenon must be managed and planned using structural and non-structural approaches. Considering the development in Iran has been carried out in high risk...

A typology of household-level adaptation to coastal flooding and its spatio-temporal patterns

The predicted sea-level rise and changes in storm surge regimes are expected to lead to an increasing risk of flooding in coastal regions. Accommodation can be an alternative to protection in many areas, with household-level adaptation potentially constituting an important element of such a strategy, as it can significantly reduce costs. To date, a systematic typology of household-level adaptat...
