  1. 1. Anticipating Glacier Lake Outburst Floods (GLOFs): an impact-based forecasting framework for managing GLOF risks in Nepal.

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Riskhantering och Samhällssäkerhet

    Författare :Grace Muir; [2023]
    Nyckelord :Anticipatory Action; Impact-based Forecasting; Glacier Lake Outburst Flood; Nepal; Risk-informed Early Action; Prediction; Disaster Risk Management; Science General;

    Sammanfattning : Glacier lake outburst floods (GLOFs) are an increasingly documented threat across the Himalayan region, wherein Nepal is situated. GLOFs involve a rapid discharge of water from a lake situated at the side, front, within, beneath, or on the surface of a glacier. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Översvämning av kyrkomiljöer - hur en ökad förekomst av översvämningar kan påverka kyrkomiljöer i Lunds stift

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Miljövetenskaplig utbildning

    Författare :Julia Nilsson; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Lund diocese; flood; church environment; church building; inventory; cemetery; cultural value; protective measures; relocation; elevation; levee; ground lowering; GIS-analysis; case study; climate change; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The occurrence of floods is expected to increase due to climate change, which may lead to destruction or loss of value of cultural heritage sites. There are approximately 500 church buildings in Lund diocese. LÄS MER

  4. 3. Byggbar mark - En studie om hur utvalda aktörer värderar översvämningsrisk vid nybyggnation och för skydd av befintlig bebyggelse

    Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresurslära

    Författare :Hedda Skarsgård; Wilma Norlin; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Översvämning; klimatanpassning; försäkring; kommun; länsstyrelse; långivare; fysisk planering; översvämningsrisk; Technology and Engineering;

    Sammanfattning : Climate change is expected to increase the frequency of fluvial, pluvial, and coastal flooding which require consideration in spatial planning. More frequent floods will affect the financial stability by increasing the exposure of risk for insurance companies and creditors. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Mapping future floods in coastal Bangladesh - Impacts of projected changes in sea level and precipitation

    Kandidat-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskap

    Författare :Agnes Pierre; [2022]
    Nyckelord :flood modelling; TFM-DYN; sea level rise; land subsidence; extreme precipitation; tidal flooding; Earth and Environmental Sciences;

    Sammanfattning : The exposure to flooding in coastal Bangladesh is expected to increase throughout the century as a result of climate change-induced sea level rise and intensified monsoon precipitation. The current consequences of flooding include damage to infrastructure, economy, and health through inundation and saline intrusion, and are likely to affect a larger population in the future.

  7. 5. Evaluation of a change detection approach to map global flood extents using Sentinel-1

    Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Författare :Axel Risling; [2022]
    Nyckelord :Flood mapping; global flood models; synthetic aperture radar; cloud-computing; change detection; Översvämningskartering; globala översvämningsmodeller; syntetisk aperturradar; molntjänster; förändringsdetektering;

    Sammanfattning : Floods are the most frequent disaster in the world and flood exposure is increasing globally. Flood mapping of past events can be a useful aid in not only disaster risk management, but also in evaluating and validating global flood models (GFMs) which are being used to assess and predict these floods.
