Urban Flooding : Greenhouse-Induced Impacts, Methodology and Case Studies (in Australia)

The literature on greenhouse climate change makes frequent reference to the possibility of marked changes to the magnitude & frequency of those natural hazards related to weather causes. This study considers the effects of climate change on flood losses in Australia. There are 3 parts, corresponding to the 3 aims of the project: to model flood frequency & magnitude under enhanced greenhouse rainfall intensities; to use the greenhouse flood data to assess changes to vulnerability of flood prone urban areas & to express these in terms of tangible & intangible losses: & to consider policy response to meet the changes to vulnerability & damage.Smith, D.
