Combination Hazard of Extreme rainfall, storm Surge & high Tide on estuarine infrastructure Nov 1, 2017 - Aug 31, 2018
UK estuaries are at risk from combination flooding. Sea-level rise and predicted changes to UK storm patterns (affecting both surge and river flows) will alter the joint probability of multiple hazard events, making previous understanding of risk, an...
