Abstract
Floods, being a prevalent and catastrophic natural hazard, have resulted in enormous losses to human lives and properties all over the world. Hence, there is a pressing need to enhance urban resilience and to improve emergency response capacities in order to mitigate the risks posed by flood hazards. Many models have been developed by engineers to simulate and examine the hydrologic and hydraulic responses to the changes within the physical environment. However, there are still knowledge gaps in advancing the understanding of the H&H behavior and hydrodynamics modeling performance. This doctoral study aims to help bridge such gaps via assessing the impacts of land subsidence and urbanization on flooding. The findings of this research can provide valuable insights into understanding the changes of flood inundation results regarding land subsidence and urbanization, which can assist engineers and stakeholders in further research, decision making and flood emergency responses.
