Paper: Flood Mitigation in Mediterranean Coastal Regions: Problems, Solutions, and Stakeholder Involvement
Title: Flood Mitigation in Mediterranean Coastal Regions: Problems, Solutions, and Stakeholder Involvement Abstract Flooding affects Mediterranean coastal areas, with negative impacts on regional populations and ecosystems. This paper reviews the causes and consequences of coastal flooding in European Mediterranean countries, common and advanced solutions implemented to mitigate flood risk, and the importance of stakeholder involvement in […]
Paper: Managing floodplains using nature-based solutions to support multiple ecosystem functions and services
Title: Managing floodplains using nature-based solutions to support multiple ecosystem functions and services Abstract Floodplains include unique environments shaped over a long time horizon along rivers and smaller streams and formed by alluvial sediments. As floodplains are flat, often with highly fertile and well-accessible land, they have become the intrinsic focus of human society—while providing a […]
Martina in Ljubljana (15 – 30 June 2021)
Martina Kovačević (Croatia) visited Slovenia to collaborate with Nejc Bezak on modelling and evaluation of the impact of permeable concrete applications on peak river flows and on selected ecosystem services in the Glinščica river basin. The results of the mission were published in Bezak et al. (2021): Exploring Options for Flood Risk Management with Special Focus […]
Chapter: Nature-Based Solutions for Flood Mitigation and Resilience in Urban Areas
Title: Nature-Based Solutions for Flood Mitigation and Resilience in Urban Areas Abstract Urban areas face several environmental problems and risks related to water management, such as floods and degradation of water quality, enhancing population vulnerability and threatening urban sustainability. These problems are expected to be exacerbated with increasing urbanization and climate change, which leads to higher […]
