Towards integrated inundation modelling: Development, testing, and application of a framework for model coupling across scales

Abstract

Globally, various models have been developed to simulate flood events, with each having its specific advantages and disadvantages. This can have significant impact on the accuracy of model output. To advance the state of current global flood modelling and move towards more integrated approaches, I have developed a computational framework allowing for coupling a suite of models, model components, and processes. Even though the framework merely focuses on riverine flooding at the moment, it is designed in a modular way and therefore it is possible to add even more models. This way, it will be possible to move even further towards integrated inundation modelling.
