Session Description:
The increase in the frequency of flood events due to acceleration of the global water cycle induces more risks to human settlements, especially those on floodplains, in an era of rapid population growth. Monitoring and forecasting of the occurrence, intensity, and evolution of flood events have been critical for many humanitarian and government agencies in their efforts to prepare, mitigate, and manage responses to disaster to save lives and limit damage. Risk assessments prior to events are also vital for developing short-term and long-term management plans. Remote sensing and modeling are two powerful technologies for providing timely information of hazardous events. Both research areas advance rapidly to provide better understanding of causation and geophysical process of these hazards, while each has its own strengths and weaknesses. We solicit contributions from modeling and remote sensing, socioeconomic sciences, hazard response, and preparedness fields that study flood hazards and risks across spatial scales.
