Abstract
Land-use change, climate change, human interventions, and socio-economic developments influence the evolution of the risk components hazard, exposure, and vulnerability, and consequently of flood risk. Adaptive flood risk management is a way to cope with evolving risks, but it requires measuring the evolution of risks. To develop principles of flood risk monitoring, we systematically reviewed scientific literature on flood risk evolution analyses. The reviewed publications indicate a wide spread in increase or decrease of flood risk evolution over decades. Furthermore, the publications show a high diversity in factors and methods for flood risk evolution analysis and indicate the main challenges for developing flood risk monitoring. Flood risk monitoring needs the systematic detection of flood risk evolution by periodically (re)evaluate the factors that influence the risk components—hazard, exposure and vulnerability—modeling those risk components and combining them to quantify flood risk.
期刊介绍:
Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results.
We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
