1. Impact of Extreme River Flows on Bridges An Application to River Lagan in Ljungby Municipality, Sweden Using HEC RAS
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraSammanfattning : The role of bridges in the transportation network has become increasingly important as they ensure the smooth and safe passage of people and goods across rivers and other bodies of water. Flowing water impacts bridges over rivers primarily in two ways: (1) Hydrodynamic forces that directly impact the structure and (2) scouring at the pier and abutment, including contraction scour.

2. Urban infrastructure inundation risk from permanent sea-level rise scenarios in London (UK), Bangkok (Thailand) and Mumbai (India): A comparative analysis
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för naturgeografi och ekosystemvetenskapSammanfattning : Due to anthropogenically created climate change, global cities are facing inundation by rising sea levels. This study aimed to fill knowledge gaps in understanding the exposure of urban infrastructure such as roads, railways, buildings and parks to sea-level rise (SLR) scenarios, and how this would affect local populations.

3. Kraftig nederbörd och översvämningar – Planhandläggares tolkning av översvämningskartor med osäkerhetszon
Kandidat-uppsats, Högskolan i Gävle/SamhällsbyggnadSammanfattning : I framtiden förutspås kraftig nederbörd bli vanligare förekommande på grund av klimatförändringar och global uppvärmning, vilket kan leda till fler och större översvämningar. Med översvämningskartering kan fastighetsskador och dödsfall undvikas och kartorna kan användas som beslutsunderlag inom samhällsplanering. LÄS MER
4. Rainfall-Runoff Simulation and Modelling Using HEC-HMS and HEC-RAS Models: Case Studies from Nepal and Sweden
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraSammanfattning : Floods are probably the most frequent, widespread and disastrous hazards of the world. Almost every year, Sweden and Nepal are affected by floods though their nature and impact differs due to complete different geographical and hydrological setting. LÄS MER
5. Flood Risk Mapping in Africa: Exploring the Potentials and Limitations of SRTM Data in the Lower Limpopo, Mozambique
Master-uppsats, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : Many regions in Africa are presently faced with an increasing flood risk due to impending climate change and population growth. One useful mitigation strategy to decrease this risk would be to map it, so that urban planning, warnings systems and emergency response subsequently could be designed to reduce societal vulnerability.
