Physical, Economical, Infrastructural and Social Flood Risk -- Vulnerability Analyses in GIS
Angela Peck, Subhankar Karmakar, and Slobodan P. Simonovic
In the present study, a flood risk-vulnerability analysis is performed. All four components of flood vulnerability: (a) physical; (b) economic; (c) infrastructure and (d) social, are evaluated individually using a Geographic Information System (GIS) environment. -
A Web-based Flood Informat ion System
Jordan Black, Subhankar Karmakar, and Slobodan P. Simonovic
The present study focuses on web dissemination of information on flood risk and vulnerability to different types of users; general public, decision makers, and professionals. -
Flood Frequency Analysis Using Copula with Mixed Marginal Distributions
Subhankar Karmakar and Slobodan P. Simonovic
In flood frequency analysis, a flood event is mainly characterized by peak flow, volume and duration. -
