About

Learn to quantitatively estimate flood and coastal erosion risks under a changing climate from world-renowned experts on the topic using examples from around the world; To effectively communicate actionable risk information; To clearly understand and act on risk information. Join the Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Assessment course at IHE Delft Institute for Water Education.

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
