Cross-sector collaboration within Dutch flood risk governance: historical analysis of external triggers

Emma Avoyan & Sander Meijerink - 21/05/2019 - All-Risk
Literatuursynthese om na te gaan hoe het beleid en de wettelijke kaders, sociaaleconomische omstandigheden, politieke realiteit, machtsverhoudingen en conflictsituaties de pogingen tot samenwerking sinds de watersnoodramp van 1953 beïnvloedden.

Cross-sector collaboration within Dutch flood risk governance: historical analysis of external triggers

Emma Avoyan & Sander Meijerink - 21/05/2019 - All-Risk
Literature synthesis to track how the policy and legal frameworks, socio-economic circumstances, political realities, power relations and conflict situations influenced the attempts at collaboration since the flooding disaster of 1953.

Re-evaluating safety risks of multifunctional dikes with a probabilistic risk framework

Marijnissen, R., Kok, M., Kroeze, C., & van Loon-Steensma, J. - 10/04/2019 - All-Risk
An additional step to the basic assessment allows estimating the probability of the presence and absence scenario of nature and housing for the reinforcement of a typical Dutch river dike for flood safety.

Comparison of Implicit and Explicit Vegetation Representations in SWAN Hindcasting Wave Dissipation by Coastal Wetlands in Chesapeake Bay

Baron-Hyppolite, C., Lashley, C. H., Garzon, J., Miesse, T., Ferreira, C., and Bricker, J. D. - 24/12/2018 - All-Risk
Het beoordelen van de nauwkeurigheid van nearshore numerieke modellen, zoals SWAN, is belangrijk om hun effectiviteit te garanderen bij het weergeven van fysieke processen en het voorspellen van overstromingsgevaar. De resultaten laten zien dat het behandelen van vegetatie simpelweg als verbeterde bodemruwheid (impliciet) de dissipatie van golfenergie onderschat. De expliciete vegetatieweergave vertoont echter een goede overeenkomst met veldgegevens.

Comparison of Implicit and Explicit Vegetation Representations in SWAN Hindcasting Wave Dissipation by Coastal Wetlands in Chesapeake Bay

Baron-Hyppolite, C., Lashley, C. H., Garzon, J., Miesse, T., Ferreira, C., and Bricker, J. D. - 24/12/2018 - All-Risk
Assessing the accuracy of nearshore numerical models—such as SWAN—is important to ensure their effectiveness in representing physical processes and predicting flood hazards. Results show that treating vegetation simply as enhanced bottom roughness (implicitly) underestimates wave energy dissipation. The explicit vegetation representation, however, shows good agreement with field data.

Uncertainty in spatial average undrained shear strength with a site-specific transformation model

Van der Krogt, M.G., Schweckendiek, T. and Kok, M. - 11/11/2018 - All-Risk
We estimate the uncertainty of a transformation model to infer geotechnical properties from indirect measurements. When the measurement and transformation errors are random or spatially variable the uncertainty is lower and the inferred properties higher.
