Densely populated coastal regions in many parts of the world are particularly vulnerable to flooding. Researchers from TUM and TUlane University show that the sinking of land masses exacerbates the impacts of rising sea levels in these areas.
Researchers led by the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have created the first global atlas of the influence of tides on coastal rivers.
With the GlobalBuildingAtlas, a research team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has created the first high-resolution 3D map of all buildings worldwide.
These models predict how the earth's climate may change over the course of decades and even centuries. To improve them especially with regard to extreme events, researchers now use machine learning methods otherwise applied to image generation.
With a focus on Europe, this course aims to summarize the tasks needed to implement the EU Floods Directive. To forecast a flood, hydrological modelling is needed.
The silting of rivers and streams disrupts habitats for fish and other aquatic organisms. But a new study points out that soil erosion is less the culprit than human efforts to straighten and channel river flow, and suggests that floodplain preservation that restores natural river flow would be better for both flood control and the health of aquatic habitats.
Rebuild By Design Munich approaches the topic of a knowledge-based approach to planning and designing resilient cities and architecture in an interdisciplinary way by presenting and discussing core aims, facts, and terms.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
