Floods are the most common natural disaster and the leading cause of natural disaster fatalities worldwide. There were 539,811 deaths (range: 510,941 to 568,680), 361,974 injuries and 2,821,895,005 people affected by floods between 1980 and 2009 (Source: PLOS). Globally, economic losses due to flooding increased from roughly US$7 billion per year in the 1...

Awaiting Public Project Summary

A consortium of flood risk modelling company Ambiental and the British Geological Survey are embarking on a feasibility study that seeks to prove a new modelling technique which better represents the role of groundwater during flood events. Flooding can occur when the groundwater table exceed ground surface, but a high water table can also exacerbate floo...

This project will bring in selected Earth Observation imagery providers and customers. The technology idea – called Floodscape - involves deployment of a new generation of cloud piercing satellites, image processing technology, high performance computing and internet-based digital mapping with the purpose of improving post-event flood response, and insura...
