TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a framework to estimate the economic damage and population affected by river floods at global scale based on a modeling cascade involving hydrological, hydraulic and socioeconomic impact simulations, and makes use of state-of-the-art global layers of hazard, exposure and vulnerability at 1-km grid resolution.

TL;DR: The general applicability of random walk particle tracking in comparison to the standard transport models is discussed and it is concluded that in advection-dominated problems using a high spatial discretization or requiring the performance of many model runs, RWPT represents a good alternative for modelling contaminant transport.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed a novel procedure for global flood hazard mapping, based on the most recent advances in large scale flood modelling, and evaluated the performance of their methodology in several river basins across the globe by comparing simulated flood maps with official hazard maps and a mosaic of flooded areas detected from satellite images.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of current European operational warning systems for water-related hazards induced by severe weather conditions is presented, which includes systems for detecting surface water flooding, flash floods, debris flows, mud flows, rainfall-induced landslides, river floods and coastal floods.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the implications of climate change for future fluvial flood risk in Europe, considering climate developments under the SRES A2 (high emission) and B2 (low emission) scenario.
