Flood insurance is a driver of population growth in European floodplains
Future flood risk assessments typically focus on changing hazard conditions as a result of climate change, where flood exposure is assumed to remain...
-
Integrating climate change induced flood risk into future population projections
Flood exposure has been linked to shifts in population sizes and composition. Traditionally, these changes have been observed at a local level...

Integrating social vulnerability into high-resolution global flood risk map**
High-resolution global flood risk maps are increasingly used to inform disaster risk planning and response, particularly in lower income countries...
-
Establishing flood thresholds for sea level rise impact communication
Sea level rise (SLR) affects coastal flood regimes and poses serious challenges to flood risk management, particularly on ungauged coasts. To address...
