Interactions between apparently ‘primary’ weather-driven hazards and their cost by John Hillier, Neil Macdonald, Gregor C. Leckebusch, A. Stavrinides

“…By a first co-investigation of long (1884–2008) meteorological time-series and nationwide insurance losses for UK domestic houses (averaging £1.1 billion/yr), new systematic interactions within a 1 year timeframe are identified between temporally-distinct floods, winter wind storms, and shrink–swell subsidence events (P < 0.03); this increases costs by up to £0.3 billion/yr (i.e., 26%), although impacts will be spatially variable depending upon the interplay of hazards. …”

Securitisation of climate change and natural hazards in the UK by Ksenia Chmutina, Lee Bosher, Andrew Dainty

“…A number of severe weather events (1998 Easter floods; 2007 Summer floods; 2013 Heatwave; 2014 Winter storms and floods) have influenced the shift in the UK policy that covers natural hazards encouraging not only improvements in emergency management, but also in prevention and preparedness (i.e. climate change adaptation). …”

How well do large-scale models reproduce regional hydrological extremes in Europe? by Christel Prudhomme, Simon Parry, Jamie Hannaford, Douglas B. Clark, Stefan Hagemann, Frank Voss

“…Some systematic weaknesses emerge in all models, in particular for high flows, which could be a product of poor spatial resolution of the input climate data (e.g., where extreme precipitation is driven by local convective storms) or topography. …”

Integrated remote sensing imagery and two-dimensional hydraulic modeling approach for impact evaluation of flood on crop yields by Huili Chen, Zhongyao Liang, Yong Liu, Qiuhua Liang, Shuguang Xie

“…The modeling results indicated that (a) the flow velocity was the most influential factor that caused spring corn, rice and soybean yield losses from extreme storm event in the mountainous regions; (b) the power function archived the best results that fit the velocity-loss relationship for mountainous areas; and (c) integrated remote sensing imagery and two-dimensional hydraulic modeling approach are helpful for evaluating the influence of historical flood event on crop production and investigating the relationship between flood characteristics and crop yield losses.…”
