内容简介：
There has been a surprisingly large number of majorfloods in the last years around the world which suggests that floods may haveincreased and will continue to increase in the next decades. In this lecture thepresenter will argue that a fresh look is needed at the flood change problem interms of the causal factors including river training, land use changes and climatevariability. Analyzing spatial patterns of dynamic flood characteristics helpslearn from the rich diversity of flood processes across the landscape. Presenterwill show a number of examples across Europe to illustrate the range of floodgeneration processes and the causal factors of changes in the flood regime. Onthe basis of these examples, presenter will demonstrate how comparative hydrologycan assist in learning from the differences of flood characteristics betweencatchments both for present and future conditions. Focus on the interactions ofhydrological and meteorological factors will be instrumental in identifying anychanges in the flood occurrence and attributing them to their causes.
