This book explains hydraulic modeling and floodplain dynamics, providing models of hazard predictions for floodplains based on state-of-the-art remote sensing data. Ideal for academic researchers and professionals working in hazard mitigation, hydraulic engineering and remote sensing, it is one of four books on climate-related flood disaster management theory and practice.

Giuliano Di Baldassarre is a Senior Lecturer at the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft, The Netherlands, and also works as the coordinator of the EC FP7 KULTURisk project, which aims at prevention of water-related disasters through evaluation of different risk prevention measures. His teaching and research interests include: floodplain processes and inundation modeling, hydroinformatics and remote sensing data, statistical hydrology and flood management under uncertainty. Dr Di Baldassarre serves as an editor of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences and guest editor of Physics and Chemistry of the Earth and Hydrological Processes, and is also the author of more than thirty peer-reviewed journal articles and more than sixty other publications including invited book chapters and conference proceedings. His scientific papers have received more than 200 citations and his achievements have been recognized by a number of prizes, including the Outstanding Young Scientist Award from the European Geosciences Union.
