    • A probabilistic approach to estimating residential losses from different flood types 

      Paprotny, DominikORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Morales-Nápoles, Oswaldo; Wagenaar, Dennis; Castellarin, Attilio; Carisi, Francesca; Bertin, Xavier; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD (Natural Hazards, 2020-12-02)
      Residential assets, comprising buildings and household contents, are a major source of direct flood losses. Existing damage models are mostly deterministic and limited to particular countries or flood types. Here, we compile ...
    • Bias in Flood Hazard Grid Aggregation 

      Bryant, SethORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD (Water Resources Research, 2023-09-08)
      Abstract

      Reducing flood risk through disaster planning and risk management requires accurate ...

    • Controls on Flood Trends Across the United States 

      Kemter, MatthiasORCIDiD; Marwan, NorbertORCIDiD; Villarini, GabrieleORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD (Water Resources Research, 2023-01-30)
      Trends in flood magnitudes vary across the conterminous USA (CONUS). There have been attempts to identify what controls these regionally varying trends, but these attempts were limited to certain—for example, climatic—variables ...
    • Identification of groundwater mean transit times of precipitation and riverbank infiltration by two-component lumped parameter models 

      Le Duy, NguyenORCIDiD; Dung, Nguyen Viet; Heidbüchel, Ingo; Meyer, HannoORCIDiD; Weiler, MarkusORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Apel, Heiko (Hydrological Processes, 2019)
      Groundwater transit time is an essential hydrologic metric for groundwater resources management. However, especially in tropical environments, studies on the transit time distribution (TTD) of groundwater infiltration and ...
    • Joint Trends in Flood Magnitudes and Spatial Extents Across Europe 

      Kemter, MatthiasORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Marwan, NorbertORCIDiD; Vorogushyn, SergiyORCIDiD; Blöschl, GünterORCIDiD (Geophysical Research Letters, 2020)
      The magnitudes of river floods in Europe have been observed to change, but their alignment with changes in the spatial coverage or extent of individual floods has not been clear. We analyze flood magnitudes and extents for ...
    • Process‐Based Flood Risk Assessment for Germany 

      Sairam, NiveditaORCIDiD; Brill, FabioORCIDiD; Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Farrag, MostafaORCIDiD; Kellermann, PatricORCIDiD; Nguyen, Viet DungORCIDiD; Lüdtke, StefanORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD; Vorogushyn, SergiyORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2021-10-05)
      Large‐scale flood risk assessments are crucial for decision making, especially with respect to new flood defense schemes, adaptation planning and estimating insurance premiums. We apply the process‐based Regional Flood ...
    • Projected Changes in Compound Flood Hazard From Riverine and Coastal Floods in Northwestern Europe 

      Ganguli, PoulomiORCIDiD; Paprotny, DominikORCIDiD; Hasan, Mehedi; Güntner, AndreasORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2020-11-18)
      Compound flooding in coastal regions, that is, the simultaneous or successive occurrence of high sea levels and high river flows, is expected to increase in a warmer world. To date, however, there is no robust evidence on ...
    • Quantifying Flood Vulnerability Reduction via Private Precaution 

      Sairam, NiveditaORCIDiD; Schröter, KaiORCIDiD; Lüdtke, StefanORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2019-03-04)
      Private precaution is an important component in contemporary flood risk management and climate adaptation. However, quantitative knowledge about vulnerability reduction via private precautionary measures is scarce and their ...
    • Seamless Estimation of Hydrometeorological Risk Across Spatial Scales 

      Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Vogel, KristinORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD (Earth's Future, 2019)
      Hydrometeorological hazards caused losses of approximately 110 billion U.S. Dollars in 2016 worldwide. Current damage estimations do not consider the uncertainties in a comprehensive way, and they are not consistent between ...
    • Toward an adequate level of detail in flood risk assessments 

      Sieg, TobiasORCIDiD; Kienzler, Sarah; Rözer, ViktorORCIDiD; Vogel, KristinORCIDiD; Rust, Henning; Bronstert, AxelORCIDiD; Kreibich, HeidiORCIDiD; Merz, BrunoORCIDiD; Thieken, Annegret H.ORCIDiD (Journal of Flood Risk Management, 2023-04-28)
      Abstract

      Flood risk assessments require different disciplines to understand and model the underlying ...
