Improved LC/LU maps and flood models through crowdsourced information
(Corresponding) Tsiakos V., (Corresponding) Krommyda M., Tsertou A., Amditis A., Jonoski A., Popescu I., Assumpção T., Kopsinis Y.
Topic:
Lakes, rivers, estuaries and ecosystem health
Flood risk prediction has been traditionally based on models that are developed from time-series of data collected over long periods of time from expensive and hard to maintain in situ sensors available only in specific areas.
Scent is a EU project which provides an integrated toolbox of smart...Read more
An Agent Based Modelling tool exploring decision-making processes for flood risk management
(Corresponding) Koutiva I., Makropoulos C.
Topic:
Water policy, management and society
Cities at risk of extreme hydro-meteorological events need to be prepared to decrease the extent of the impacts. However, the majority usually reacts to the catastrophe, having failed to proactively prepare against extremes. This can be a result of both absent structural protection measures and...Read more

Revıew of Flood Dısaster Risk Management ın sıx West Afrıcan Megacıtıes
(Corresponding) Olanrewaju C., Reddy M.
Topic:
Disaster risk reduction and management
In developing countries, the factors affecting vulnerability and exposure to floods are growing rapidly as urbanization puts more people and assets at risk. Particularly susceptible, is the fast growing informal settlements in central cities and peri-urban locations. Six noteworthy West African...Read more

Topic:
Climpact: national network for climate change and its impacts
Effective flood management requires the priori assessment of the flood event, its consequences, and thus its risk, which give insight into what situations we expect and allow us to evaluate possible measures, including the implementation of an Early Warning System. In the present work, we briefly...Read more
Development of flood risk maps using Remote Sensing Techniques in Cyprus
(Corresponding) Kountouri J., Mettas C., Evagorou E., Hadjimitsis D.
Topic:
Floods, droughts and water scarcity
Floods are the most devastating natural disasters and are likely to become more frequent, dominant, and severe due to climate change, population growth, urbanization, and other factors related to watersheds and human activities. A flood can be defined as a body of water that causes runoff to land...Read more
