Simulation of Tsunami and Flash Floods
Impacts to the built environment from hazards such tsunami or flash floods are critical in understanding the economic and social effects on our communities. In order to simulate the behaviour of water flow from such hazards within the built environment, Geoscience Australia and the Australian National University are developing a software modelling tool for hydrodynamic simulations. The tool is ...
متن کاملMental models of flash floods and landslides.
Perceptions of flash floods and landslides were analyzed in four communities of the Bavarian Alps using the mental model approach.

Based on a brief account of 1,000 years of river floods and flood management in the Dutch Rhine delta, it is argued that vulnerability to river floods depends on the complex interaction of economics, institutions, politics and, to a limited extent, climate.

متن کاملControlling Yangtze River Floods: A New Approach
One of the most striking features of climate change in Asia is the change of the monsoon system, bringing new precipitation patterns to China. This has resulted in more flooding resulting from severe precipitation in southern China, and more droughts in the northern part of the country. Starting in the early 1980s, the Chinese government undertook research projects to better understand the risk...
