Floods in a Megacity: Geospatial Techniques in Assessing Hazards, Risk and Vulnerability

Flooding is one of the most devastating natural hazards in the world. Available records suggest that both flood frequency and severity are on the rise and this is likely to worsen in the context of climate change. As population, infrastructure and poverty grow rapidly in developing countries, partic...
