XtremRisK - Integrated Flood Risk Analysis for Extreme Storm Surges at Open Coasts and in Estuaries: Key Results and Lessons Learned

摘要

A brief overview of the joint research project XtremRisK is given. The project has been focusing on developing/improving/expanding the knowledge, methods and models with respect to (ⅰ) physically possible extreme storm surge for current conditions and scenarios for climate change, (ⅱ) failure mechanisms of flood defences, (ⅲ) assessment of intangible losses (social and ecological) and their integration with direct/indirect economic losses, (ⅳ) reliability analysis of flood defence systems and (ⅴ) SPR-based integrated flood risk analysis involving both tangible and intangible losses and its implementation for two selected pilot sites (representative for an open coast and an urban estuarine area in Germany). The key results are briefly summarised and the lessons learned for future flood risk studies are finally drawn.
