Service Description:

Increasingly Frequent Flooding

Climate change is increasing the severity and frequency of extreme rainfall events that increase the frequency of flooding. Increasingly frequent floods will negatively impact people and in some places will also impact birds. With smart flood management, we can protect people from the negative impacts of increasing flood risk in a way that also provides habitat for wildlife.

Data Source(s)

Hirabayashi Y, Tanoue M, Sasaki O, Zhou X, Yamazaki D. 2021. Global exposure to flooding from the new CMIP6 climate model projections. Scientific Reports 11:3740.

Processing

We mapped future flood exposure as a binary surface by identifying all 3-km cells where the level of flooding expected from a 100-year flood is expected to happen as often as every 25 years (i.e., 4x as frequent).
