Quantifying Resilience and Uncertainty in Coastal Flooding Events: Framework for Assessing Urban Vulnerability
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Distributed Hydrologic Modeling of Coastal Flood Inundation and Damage: Nonstationary Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Self-Organizing Gaussian-Based Downscaling of Climate Data for Simulation of Urban Drainage Systems
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Climate change and its impacts on hydrometeorological variables
and surface runoff have been demonstrated in many investigations around
the world. General circulation models (GCMs) are widely used in climate
change studies; ...
Application of Dynamic Simulation Modeling Approach and Load-Resistance Concept to Water–Infrastructure Interactions in Coastal Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Developing an Agricultural Planning Model in a Watershed Considering Climate Change Impacts
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Societies are facing major challenges in allocating water resources to growing water demands due to population growth and industrial and agricultural developments. With increasing water scarcity, the need to increase ...
Coastal Flood Damage Estimator: An Alternative to FEMA’s HAZUS Platform
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Floods are the most devastating natural hazards in the United States, and these events lead to significant economic consequences. Estimation of damages and losses at different parts of the floodplain can be used to identify ...
Analysis of the Effects of Climate Change on Urban Storm Water Runoff Using Statistically Downscaled Precipitation Data and a Change Factor Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In urban areas, there is concern that storm water runoff and flooding may be intensified because of the effect of climate change on precipitation amounts, intensities, and frequencies. Studies are needed to help storm water ...
Coastal Flood Damage Estimator: An Alternative to FEMA’s HAZUS Platform
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Floods are the most devastating natural hazards in the United States, and these events lead to significant economic consequences. Estimation of damages and losses at different parts of the floodplain can be used to identify ...
Combined Impact of Inland and Coastal Floods: Mapping Knowledge Base for Development of Planning Strategies
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Concurrent incidence of heavy rainfall events and coastal storm surges can cause damages of exponential proportion to the coastal habitants and infrastructures. Super Storm Sandy and hurricane Irene were wake up calls that ...
Low-Impact Development Practices to Mitigate Climate Change Effects on Urban Stormwater Runoff: Case Study of New York City
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban stormwater runoff management systems are usually designed to meet performance standards based on historical climate data, which are assumed to be stationary. Based on the evidence from climate change impact studies, ...
