Overview of peer-reviewed publications related to flood modelling and climate change in 2024
With Canada’s river basins extending over almost 10 million km2, producing flood maps sufficiently accurate to be used for planning purposes at a reasonable cost is a challenge. Bathymetric data, in particular, are difficult and expensive to obtain …
Post-wildfire vegetation cover damage and loss can escalate the risks of secondary disasters such as flood, landslide, and water contamination, particularly in a major wildfire affected region where human settlements are situated. In assessments of …
It has been increasingly understood that pluvial flooding poses a substantial risk to numerous communities across the globe. This is especially relevant for the Canadian province of Prince Edward Island (PEI), which is susceptible to a compound flood …
Since 2021, the Government of Canada has invested $63.8M in the Flood Hazard Identification and Mapping Program (FHIMP) to help Canadians better plan and prepare for future flood risks. In this presentation, Natural Resources Canada (NRCan) will …
Open Building Population Layer for Canada, derived from open-source computer-generated footprints and census data (2021)
Urban floods can cause severe loss of economic and social assets, and remote sensing has been an effective tool for flood mapping during disaster response. Due to the complexity of high-density urban structures, high-resolution (HR) optical images …
This article presents a method for identifying areas where there are gaps in large-scale building footprint layers, using building population and census datasets
Une cartographie des inondations de haute qualité, actuelle et accessible, aidera les gouvernements, les collectivités et le public à mieux comprendre les risques d’inondation. Dans de nombreuses régions du Canada, il manque des cartes à jour qui …
