These phenomena are dramatically impacting ordinary life and the economy. Research and technology offer a new strategy to quantify and predict such phenomena and also mitigate the impact of flooding. In particular, the growing computational power is offering new strategies for a more detailed description of the flooding over large scales. This book offers an overview of the most recent outcomes of the research on this argument.History of engineering and technologybicssc2D hydraulic modeling2D hydraulic modellingaltimetryand transboundary floodsBayesian analysisbuilding representationclimate changeColombo city, Sri Lankacountermeasuresdamage assessmentdata assimilationdata integrationdata scarce environmentsDEM-based methodsDigital Elevation Model (DEM)DTMensemble Kalman filterEU Floods Directiveextreme rainfallfloodflood hazardsflood impactsflood inundation mapsflood mappingflood mapping and modellingflood monitoringflood risk managementfloodplainsgeomorphologyHEC-RAShigh-resolution AGCMhydraulic geometryhydro-economichydroinformaticsIDF curvesinundation analysislarge scaleLower Mekong river basinMekong BasinMetro Colombo canal systemMODISNational Water Model (NWM)near real-timeNon-Stationary processopen-access remotely sensed dataoptical dataoptical satelliteremote sensingrivers dynamicsRST-FLOODscaling in hydrologySCS-CNsocioeconomicsynthetic aperture radarterrain analysisuncertaintyungauged streamsurban floodsVIIRSHistory of engineering and technologyManfreda Salvatoreedt442705Samela CaterinaedtRefice AlbertoedtTramutoli ValerioedtNardi FernandoedtManfreda SalvatoreothSamela CaterinaothRefice AlbertoothTramutoli ValerioothNardi FernandoothBOOK9910557296303321Advances in Large Scale Flood Monitoring and Detection3026248UNINA
