The Role of Global Data Sets for Riverine Flood Risk Management at National Scales

Mark Bernhofen et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the usefulness of global data sets for assessing flood risk in five countries and finds significant differences at the national level. Some global data sets could be valuable for national flood risk management, while others are not detailed enough or outdated for this scale.

Flood risk perception and communication: The role of hazard proximity

Asher Ali et al.

Summary: This study quantifies risk perception and communication in flood-prone rural areas of Pakistan. The results show that people living away from the river have higher risk perception and better risk communication, mainly due to their past flood experiences. The study also found a strong correlation between flood risk perception and risk communication, as well as the impact of hazard proximity on risk perception and communication.

Prediction of the geomechanical state of the rock mass when mining salt deposits with stowing

Jaroslav Rybak et al.

Summary: The research analyzes the technogenic impact of mining on the environment and suggests transitioning to geotechnology with stowing to reduce this impact. The study justifies the parameters of salt deposits development with stowing and examines the influence of stowing on rock mass deformation dynamics. The findings emphasize the importance of creating a safe and efficient technology for transitioning from systems with natural maintenance to stowing systems.

Process-Based Flood Risk Assessment for Germany

Nivedita Sairam et al.

Summary: Large-scale flood risk assessments are crucial for decision making, and the RFM has been used to simulate a 5000-year flood event catalog for all major catchments in Germany. The commercial sector dominates the total risk, while the agriculture sector contributes less than 3%. The spatially consistent risk estimates provided by RFM will serve as a benchmark for future German-wide flood risk assessments.
