Overview
For whom?
- Engineers who are interested in learning the quantitative risk assessment tools, techniques and methodologies.
- Managers, policymakers, and other professionals in the flood risk and coastal zone management sectors who do not necessarily have a technical background.
Learning objectives of the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Assessment course at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education
- Interpret quantified risk information in a context-specific way together with the uncertainties.
- Calculate risk by combining hazards into suitable risk models.
- Setup quantification of risk as a computational problem and apply simulation models to estimate hazards in the context of flood and coastal erosion hazards.
- Communicate quantified risk information in understandable, but also actionable means.
Programme Structure
The 3-week short course addresses these three gaps covering theory, tools and hands-on modelling and quantification, risk communication and its interpretation. It covers the following type of flood and coastal risk contexts:
- Pluvial urban floods
- Fluvial floods
- Flooding in the coastal context (covering both 1&2) in the context of climate change
- Coastal erosion risk due to sea-level rise
We use modelling tools implemented in several case studies from different locations in the world to address the following topics:
- Quantitative risk assessment frameworks and approaches.
- External and internal determinants of risk (Climate change, local land-use change, system deterioration)
- Climate change-driven Flood hazard modelling
- Climate change-driven Coastal Erosion hazard modelling
- How to convert Hazard estimates to quantitative risk assessments
- Interpretation and communication of quantified risk information
- Understanding quantified risk information
