This paper presents a framework to maximize the effectiveness of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) for flood risk reduction and thermal comfort enhancement. …

Bergen city centre is prone to both subsidence and flooding. With a predicted increase in precipitation due to climate change, a higher proportion of rainfall becomes surface runoff, which results in increased peak flood discharges. In addition, it has been predicted that sea-level rise and increasing …

In opdracht van een rentmeester- en taxatiekantoor is onderzoek gedaan naar een overstromingsrisicoanalyse. Bij het taxeren van een object worden meerdere risico’s in acht genomen. Het risico op overstroming wordt hier niet standaard in meegenomen. De handvatten om dit helder en objectief in de rapporten …

The interaction between physical drivers from oceanographic, hydrological, and meteorological processes in coastal areas can result in compound flooding. Compound flood events, like Cyclone Idai and Hurricane Harvey, have revealed the devastating consequences of the co-occurrence of coastal and river …

The Interreg North Sea region project FRAMES, Flood Resilience by Multi-LayerEd Safety, addressed the shared territorial challenge of climate change impacts, specifically the physical, economic and social effects of floods. To deal with future climate uncertainties, alternative options need to be considered …

Diversification of flood risk management strategies (FRMS) in response to climate change relies on the adaptive capacities of institutions. Although adaptive capacities enable flexibility and adjustment, more empirical research is needed to better grasp the role of adaptive capacities to accommodate …
