Title: Investigating the public perception of green, hybrid and grey flood risk management measures in Europe Abstract: Climate change is expected to affect the frequency and magnitude of floods, which are among the costliest hazards in Europe. As natural hazards READ MORE
Title: On the right track of flood planning policy? Land uptake in Central-European floodplains (1990–2018) Abstract: Floods continue to remain among the costliest disasters worldwide and especially in Europe. Among the major causes of flooding are human impacts on water READ MORE
Title: Natural/Small Water Retention Measures: Their Contribution to Ecosystem-Based Concepts Abstract: The increasing incidence of droughts and heavy rainfall events is exacerbating conflicts between human and environmental demands for water. However, through providing multiple water-related ecosystem services and benefits simultaneously, READ MORE
Title: Multidimensional resilience – flood recovery on private land Abstract: Flood damages are increasing and thus flood resilience is gaining importance. Various definitions of resilience and the identification of different resilience dimensions have been the focus of past research, but there READ MORE
Title: Mitigation of Concurrent Flood and Drought Risks Through Land Modifications: Potential and Perspectives of Land Users Abstract: Modifications to land can serve to jointly reduce risks of floods and droughts to people and to ecosystems. Whether land modifications are implemented READ MORE
