Managing flood risk, ie both the hazard and the potential consequences, is an important
aspect of adapting to global change and has gained much traction in recent decades. As a …

Efficiently reducing natural hazard risks requires a thorough understanding of the costs of
natural hazards. Current methods to assess these costs employ a variety of terminologies …

River flood risk in Europe could rise to unprecedented levels due to global warming and
continued development in flood-prone areas. Here, we appraise the potential of four key …

Flood risk assessments provide inputs for the evaluation of flood risk management (FRM)
strategies. Traditionally, such risk assessments provide estimates of loss of life and …

Rising extreme sea levels (ESLs) and continued socioeconomic development in coastal
zones will lead to increasing future flood risk along the European coastline. We present a …

Improvements in modelling power and input data have vastly improved the precision of
physical flood models, but translation into economic outputs requires depth–damage …

Extreme climatic events are likely to become more frequent owing to global warming. This
may put additional stress on critical infrastructures with typically long life spans. However …

Increasing Earth's surface air temperature yields an intensification of its hydrological cycle.
As a consequence, the risk of river floods will increase regionally within the next two …

Globally, economic losses from flooding exceeded $19 billion in 2012, and are rising
rapidly. Hence, there is an increasing need for global-scale flood risk assessments, also …

Economic theory suggests that, other things being equal, properties located within a
floodplain should suffer a price discount. A survey of the existing evidence nonetheless …
