Global flood hazard : applications in modeling, mapping and forecasting /

"Global flood hazard modeling and forecasting has many challenges but at the same time there is a lot of room for development and opportunities along the way for addressing these challenges, which recent advances in global flood hazard mapping, modeling, and forecasting evidently demonstrate. E...
