A framework for global river flood risk assessments
There is an increasing need for strategic global assessments of flood risks in current and future conditions. In this paper, we propose a framework for global flood risk assessment for river floods, which can be applied in current conditions, as well as in future conditions due to climate and socio-economic changes. The framework’s goal is to establish flood hazard and impact estimates at a hig...
متن کامل- HyRisk – Hybrid Treatment of Uncertainties in Risk Assessments
Uncertainty is an essential aspect of risk assessments that should be accounted for in the analysis considering potential implications for the decision-making process. Uncertainty depends in particular on the information at hand regarding factors that influence risk. It is suggested in this report that different types of information, regarding variables that appear in risk assessment models, re...
متن کاملQuantifying the Uncertainties in Uranium Dose Assessments
Significant uncertainty is known to be present in the internal radiation dose assessments for intakes of uranium compounds. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the sources of the uncertainty in the dose assessment and in particular the biokinetic models used to describe the movement of uranium in the body. A variety of numerical and statistical approaches have been used to explore the unc...
متن کاملUncertainties and assessments of chemistry-climate models of the stratosphere
In recent years a number of chemistry-climate models have been developed with an emphasis on the stratosphere. Such models cover a wide range of time scales of integration and vary considerably in complexity. The results of specific diagnostics are here analysed to examine the differences amongst individual models and observations, to assess the consistency of model predictions, with a particul...
متن کامل3d Flood Information from Sar as a Means for Reducing Uncertainties in Flood Inundation Modeling
SAR images of river inundation prove to be very relevant for operational flood management. However, common exploitation of satellite images of floods is generally restricted to a flood extent extraction. The usefulness of these images could be significantly improved by providing a hydraulic-coherent 3-dimensional (3D) characterization of floods and by integrating these Remote Sensing-Derived (R...
