Floods in Siberia: geographical and statistical analysis for the period of climate change

In Siberia, floods are one of dangerous natural disaster. The danger varies under the climatic and anthropogenic changes, as well socio-economic development. aim was to study current position problems associated with flood hazard. A key understanding situation is geographical statistical analysis for period climate change (1985-2019). Such analyzes addresses following aspects: genesis recurrence, severity impact different genesis; maxima runoff principal cause floods; spatial distribution settlements vulnerable flooding; ice jams dams a specific factor causing in Siberia; assessment degree danger, identification areas integral danger. more than 1400 flooded at regular intervals. Most them concentrated southern, most developed territories Ob, Tom Yeniseiy basins. rainfall, mixed (from snow melting rainfall) ice-dam dangerous. They have highest recurrence impact. greatest risk populated economically southern regions within Lena Yenisey rivers Lake Baikal Territories were determined. For region, hazard determined all administrative districts. Flood maps Siberian can be basis developing adaptation strategies.
