Bys: Izaguirre, Cristina, Losada, Inigo J., Espejo, Antonio

Tides of Change: Navigating Flood Risks and Climate Impacts provides a comprehensive examination of the multifaceted risks associated with flooding in the context of evolving climate patterns. This curated collection of scientific journal articles covers a diverse range of subjects, from the socio-economic consequences of coastal flooding in Port of Spain and the ecological challenges of reforesting bottomland hardwoods, to the effects of extreme storm events on the German Bight's sea levels and the interrelation between flooding and food security in Nigeria. Each study employs advanced methodologies-statistical analyses, high-resolution modeling, system thinking approaches-to present data-driven insights and pragmatic solutions. Whether investigating the structural resilience of Zurich's road networks or assessing the impact of seasonal flooding on the water quality of alpine barrier lakes, these articles underscore the urgency of adaptive measures and innovative management strategies to mitigate flood impacts. With its global perspective and detailed case studies, this book serves as an invaluable resource for policymakers, environmental managers, and researchers dedicated to flood risk assessment and climate resilience.
