Human displacements, fatalities, and economic damages linked to remotely observed floods by Benedikt Mester, Katja Frieler, Jacob Schewe

“…The dataset connects displacement data from the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), as well as data on fatalities and damages from the Emergency Events Database (EM-DAT), with the Global Flood Database (GFD), a satellite-based inventory of historic flood footprints. …”

Global warming and population change both heighten future risk of human displacement due to river floods by Pui Man Kam, Gabriela Aznar-Siguan, Jacob Schewe, Leonardo Milano, Justin Ginnetti, Sven Willner, Jamie W McCaughey, David N Bresch

“…Adding projected population changes further exacerbates these increases globally and in most world regions, with the relative global flood displacement risk is increasing by roughly 350% at the end of the 21st century, compared to an increase of 150% without the contribution of population change. …”

The critical role of the routing scheme in simulating peak river discharge in global hydrological models by Fang Zhao, Ted I E Veldkamp, Katja Frieler, Jacob Schewe, Sebastian Ostberg, Sven Willner, Bernhard Schauberger, Simon N Gosling, Hannes Müller Schmied, Felix T Portmann, Guoyong Leng, Maoyi Huang, Xingcai Liu, Qiuhong Tang, Naota Hanasaki, Hester Biemans, Dieter Gerten, Yusuke Satoh, Yadu Pokhrel, Tobias Stacke, Philippe Ciais, Jinfeng Chang, Agnes Ducharne, Matthieu Guimberteau, Yoshihide Wada, Hyungjun Kim, Dai Yamazaki

“…Global hydrological models (GHMs) have been applied to assess global flood hazards, but their capacity to capture the timing and amplitude of peak river discharge—which is crucial in flood simulations—has traditionally not been the focus of examination. …”
