A Large-Scale Systems Approach to Flood Risk Assessment and Management (SYSTEM-RISK)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2016, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2019,
Flood risk systems are characterised by physical and socio-economic processes acting at different space-time scales, by non-stationary and non-linear behaviour, and by a significant degree of interdependence between processes. This may lead to surprising developments and unanticipated side effects of risk reduction measures. A novel systems approach is needed that captures this dynamics and accoun ...

Urban Waves: evaluating structure vulnerability to tsunami and earthquakes (UrbanWaves)
Date du début: 1 janv. 2014, Date de fin: 31 déc. 2018,
Exposure to coastal floods across the world is forecast to increase to 150 million people and £20 trillion in assets by 2070 (>9% of projected annual global GDP). In addition to cities, potentially vulnerable assets include key infrastructure such as nuclear power plants and ports: the recent Japan earthquake and tsunami demonstrating this. Urban Waves will fill the gap in the engineering design a ...

On the Impact of Extreme Weather on Critical Infrastructures (INTACT)
Date du début: 1 mai 2014, Date de fin: 30 avr. 2017,
The resilience of critical infrastructures (CI) to Extreme Weather Events (EWE) is one of the most salient and demanding challenges facing society. Growing scientific evidence suggests that more frequent and severe weather extremes such as heat waves, hurricanes, flooding and droughts are having an ever increasing impact, with the range and effects on society exacerbated when CI is disrupted / des ...

Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology (DRIHM)
Date du début: 1 sept. 2011, Date de fin: 28 févr. 2015,
Predicting weather and climate and its impacts on the environment, including hazards such as floods and landslides, is still one of the main challenges of the 21st century, with significant societal and economic implications. At the heart of this challenge, as also suggested by the DRIHMS (Distributed Research Infrastructure for Hydro-Meteorology Study) project, lies the ability to have easy acce ...
