It analyses the factors influencing flood risk, investigates variations in observation records and discusses projections for the future and adaptation to changing risk. It serves the general interest in understanding the floods that cause massive destruction in Europe, with dozens of fatalities and tremendous material damages. This interdisciplinary book, which covers aspects of climatology, geomorphology, hydrology, and water and flood risk management, unveils the complexity of the current situation. Access to reliable and accurate information can help solve important practical problems related to flood risk reduction strategies, and is at the core of the EU Floods Directive. As such, the book offers a valuable resource for scientists, educators and practitioners involved in water management, natural disaster reduction and adaptation to climate change. 410 0$aGeoPlanet: Earth and Planetary Sciences,$x2190-5193 606 $aGeophysics 606 $aHydrogeology 606 $aNatural disasters 606 $aGeology?Statistical methods 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aClimate change 606 $aGeophysics/Geodesy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G18009 606 $aHydrogeology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G19005 606 $aNatural Hazards$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G32000 606 $aQuantitative Geology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/G17030 606 $aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/215000 606 $aClimate Change Management and Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/314000 615 0$aGeophysics. 615 0$aHydrogeology. 615 0$aNatural disasters. 615 0$aGeology?Statistical methods. 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aClimate change. 615 14$aGeophysics/Geodesy. 615 24$aHydrogeology. 615 24$aNatural Hazards. 615 24$aQuantitative Geology. 615 24$aWater Policy/Water Governance/Water Management. 615 24$aClimate Change Management and Policy. 676 $a551.489011 702 $aKundzewicz$b Zbigniew W$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aStoffel$b Markus$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aNied?wied?$b Tadeusz$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWy?ga$b Bart?omiej$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254115703321 996 $aFlood Risk in the Upper Vistula Basin$92512289 997 $aUNINA
