Floods in a Changing Climate

Hydrologic Modeling
P. P. Mujumdar, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
D. Nagesh Kumar, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore
March 2018
Paperback
9781108447027
    Description

    Various modeling methodologies are available to aid planning and operational decision making: this book synthesises these, with an emphasis on methodologies applicable in data scarce regions, such as developing countries. Problems included in each chapter, and supported by links to available online data sets and modelling tools, engage the reader with practical applications of the models. Academic researchers in the fields of hydrology, climate change, and environmental science and hazards, and professionals and policy-makers working in hazard mitigation, remote sensing and hydrological engineering will find this an invaluable resource.
    This volume is the second in a collection of four books on flood disaster management theory and practice within the context of anthropogenic climate change. The others are: Floods in a Changing Climate: Extreme Precipitation by Ramesh Teegavarapu, Floods in a Changing Climate: Inundation Modelling by Giuliano Di Baldassarre and Floods in a Changing Climate: Risk Management by Slodoban Simonović.

    • Readily available models such as HEC-HMS, HEC-RAS and SWMM are demonstrated, providing insight into their practical application
    • Includes the empirical models of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) and Fuzzy Inference Systems, enabling application to flow forecasting and flood routing
    • Presents a variety of modeling tools including remote sensing, digital elevation modeling and GIS technologies, providing methodologies to assess climate change impacts on hydrology in general

    Antarctic Science
    Antarctic Science

    : Journal

    Antarctic Science provides a truly international forum for the broad spread of studies that increasingly characterise scientific research in the Antarctic. Whilst emphasising interdisciplinary work, the journal publishes papers from environmental management to biodiversity, from volcanoes to icebergs, and from oceanography to the upper atmosphere. No other journal covers such a wide range of Antarctic scientific studies. The journal attracts papers from all countries currently undertaking Antarctic research. It publishes both review and data papers with no limits on length, two-page short notes on technical developments and recent discoveries, and book reviews. These, together with an editorial discussing broader aspects of science, provide a rich and varied mixture of items to interest researchers in all areas of science. There are no page charges, or charges for colour, to authors publishing in the Journal. One issue each year is normally devoted to a specific theme or papers from a major meeting.

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics
    Journal of Fluid Mechanics

    : Journal

    Journal of Fluid Mechanics is the leading international journal in the field and is essential reading for all those concerned with developments in fluid mechanics. It publishes authoritative articles covering theoretical, computational and experimental investigations of all aspects of the mechanics of fluids. Each issue contains papers on both the fundamental aspects of fluid mechanics, and their applications to other fields such as aeronautics, astrophysics, biology, chemical and mechanical engineering, hydraulics, meteorology, oceanography, geology, acoustics and combustion.The journal was founded in 1956 by George Batchelor, who was also its Editor until 1996 (with Keith Moffatt as co-Editor from 1966 to 1983). Since then the Editors have been David Crighton, Tim Pedley and Steve Davis. The current Editor is Grae Worster, assisted by Deputy Editors Paul Linden and Charles Meneveau. They are part of a team of Associate Editors who handle submissions autonomously. JFM does not impose page charges for regular publication. Optional inclusion of colour figures in the print edition is charged at a rate of £200 per figure. Accepted papers may be published under an open access license in exchange for an article processing charge of £1695/$2700.
