  4. 7. Flood Warnings in a Risk Management Context : A Case of Swedish Municipalities

    Author : Erik Persson; Lars Nyberg; Inge Svedung; Charles Parker; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Karlstads universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Early warning systems; floods; natural hazards; municipality; risk management; preparedness; disaster risk reduction.; Risk and Environmental Studies; Risk- och Miljöstudier;

    Abstract : As a result of the United Nations’ International Decade for Natural Disaster Reduction (1990-2000), and recent high profile disasters, disaster risk reduction has climbed high on the international political agenda. There has been a paradigm shift from reacting to disasters towards preparing for and mitigating effects of disasters. READ MORE

  5. 8. Microplastic Mitigation in Urban Stormwater : Assessing Horizontal-Flow Filters of Bark, Biochar and Sand as Remediation Strategies

    Author : Gabriella Rullander; Sahar S. Dalahmeh; Roger Herbert; Jes Vollertsen; Claudia Lorenz; Ann-Margret Strömvall; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Decentralized water treatment; Filtration; Filter systems; Pollution control; Porous media; Stormwater management; Sustainable solutions; Geovetenskap med inriktning mot miljöanalys; Earth Science with specialization in Environmental Analysis;

    Abstract : Urban stormwater has been suggested as a significant vector through which microplastics (MPs) reach aquatic environments. Currently, only a small fraction of stormwater in Sweden undergoes any form of treatment. READ MORE

  6. 9. Parched Injustice : Unravelling the production and distribution of drought risk in South Africa

    Author : Elisa Savelli; Maria Rusca; Giuliano Di Baldassarre; Hannah Cloke; Emily Boyd; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; drought; water crises; social power; inequalities; sociohydrology; critical social sciences;
