Machine generated contents note: Part one - Drivers for change.Led by Professor Colin Thorne, University of Nottingham with co-authors Professor Gareth Pender, Heriot Watt University and Professor Ian Cluckie, University of Bristol, this section will set the scene for the subsequent sections of the book. It will review the increase in uncertainty in hydrological prediction arising from climate change the impact of this on flood prediction and how this has acted as a driver for a change in practice from flood defence to flood risk management..Part two- Catchment and land use management.2.1 Strategic overview of land use management in the context of catchment flood planning, lead author Professor Enda O'Connell, University of Newcastle..2.2 A strategic view of land management planning, Professor Nishat, Bangladesh or Professor Chen, Flood Hazard Unit, China..2.3 Integrated sustainable development of floodplains and wetlands, lead author Professor Stuart Lane, University of Durham..2.4 Multi-scale impacts of upland land management on water and sediment runoff, lead author Professor Howard Wheater, Imperial College.2.5 Distributed catchment modelling and uncertainty, lead author Professor Keith Beven, University of Lancaster..2.6 Morphology, habitat and infrastructure interactions in the fluvial environment, lead author Professor Colin Thorne, University of Nottingham..2.7 Morphology, habitat and infrastructure interactions in the coastal environment, lead author Professor Robert Nicholls, University of Southampton..Part three - Flood forecasting and warning.3.1 Handling uncertainty in coastal modelling, lead author Professor Dominic Reeve, University of Plymouth..3.2 Artificial intelligence techniques in real-time flood forecasting, lead author Dr Jonathon Lawry, University of Bristol..3.3 An international perspective of advances in flood forecasting and warning, lead author Professor Witold Krajewski, University of Iowa, USA.3.4 Advances in weather radar and remote sensing in flood forecasting, lead author Professor Ian Cluckie, University of Bristol..3.5 Real-time model updating in flood warning, lead author Professor Peter Young, University of Lancaster..3.6 Coupled real-time forecasting and uncertainty using ensembles, lead author Professor Geoff Austin, University of Auckland..Part four - Mitigation strategies.4.1 Data needs to support flood mitigation, lead author Dr Martin Smith, University of Nottingham..4.2 Modelling to support flood mitigation, lead author Professor Gareth Pender, Heriot Watt University..4.3 Modelling flood risk at a national scale, Dr. Ad van Os, Delft Technical University, The Netherlands..4.4 Integrated urban flood modelling, lead author Professor Adrian Saul, University of Sheffield..4.5 Real-time control of urban flood water management, lead author Dr Hans-Reinhard Verworn, University of Hanover, FRG..4.6 Improved methodologies for infrastructure condition assessment, lead author Professor Mick Mawdesley, University of Nottingham..4.7 Coastal defence reliability analysis and option searching, lead author Paul Sayers HR Wallingford Ltd..4.8 Engineering mitigation of flood risk, lead author Professor de Friend , Delft Hydraulics, The Netherlands..Part five - Policy and planning.5.1 Flood risk management policy and stakeholder engagement in the UK, lead author Professor Joe Howe, Queens University Belfast.5.2 Advances in disaster management in Japan, lead author Professor Haruo Hayashi, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan..5.3 Flood risk communication, lead UK author Dr Hazel Faulkner, Flood Hazard Research Centre, University of Middlesex..5.4 Socio-psychological dimensions of flood risk management, lead author Professor Edmund Penning-Roswell, Flood Hazard Research Centre, University of Middlesex..5.5 Managed retreat, lead author Dr Jonathon Simm, HR Wallingford Ltd..5.6 Assessment of environmental and public health risks due to urban flooding, lead author Professor David Kay, University of Aberystwyth..5.7 Institutions, governance and flood management goals, Professor Peter Rogers, Harvard University, USA..Part six - Case studies.The final case study topics have yet to be identified.
