Over the past decades, the scientific community has made significant efforts to simulate
flooding conditions using a variety of complex physically based models. Despite all …

Evidence that extreme rainfall intensity is increasing at the global scale has strengthened
considerably in recent years. Research now indicates that the greatest increases are likely …

Tropical cyclones (TCs) are drivers of extreme rainfall and surge, but the current and future
TC rainfall–surge joint hazard has not been well quantified. Using a physics-based …

Extreme sea levels, caused by storm surges and high tides, can have devastating societal
impacts. To effectively protect our coasts, global information on coastal flooding is needed …

Floods are considered as one of the most frequently occurring natural hazards worldwide
and are occurring increasingly frequent in recent decades. Flood risk assessment is an …

Sea level rise (SLR), a well-documented and urgent aspect of anthropogenic global
warming, threatens population and assets located in low-lying coastal regions all around the …

The cooccurrence of coastal and riverine flooding leads to compound events with
substantial impacts on people and property in low‐lying coastal areas. Climate change …

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 …

Globally and yearly, individual hazards and hazard interrelations have the potential to result
in socio-economic losses. Here, in this critical review, we use grey-and peer-review …

Compound events (CEs) are multivariate extreme events in which the individual contributing
variables may not be extreme themselves, but their joint–dependent–occurrence causes an …
