Global floods and water availability driven by atmospheric rivers

by Vance Tan | Oct 28, 2017

While emerging regional evidence shows that atmospheric rivers (ARs) can exert strong impacts on local water availability and flooding, their role in shaping global hydrological extremes has not yet been investigated. Here we quantify the relative contribution of ARs...

The energy supply systems model was developed for the UK Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) and is used on the CGEN+ optimisation model for energy infrastructure expansion planning.

Techniques for valuing adaptive capacity in flood risk management

by Vance Tan | Mar 11, 2016

Flood and coastal erosion risk management has always faced the challenge of decision making in the face of multiple uncertainties relating to the climate, the economy and society. Traditionally, this has been addressed by adopting a precautionary approach that seeks...

Understanding persistence to avoid underestimation of collective flood risk

by Vance Tan | Jan 12, 2016

The assessment of collective risk for flood risk management requires a better understanding of the space-time characteristics of flood magnitude and occurrence. In particular, classic formulation of collective risk implies hypotheses concerning the independence of...

Water Security: Coping with the curse of freshwater variability

by Vance Tan | Oct 24, 2014

Coping with variable and unpredictable freshwater resources represents a profound challenge to climate adaptation. Rainfall, snowmelt, soil moisture, and runoff can vary from zero to large quantities, over a range of time scales and in ways not well predicted by...
