Improving flood hazard datasets using a low-complexity, probabilistic floodplain mapping approach.

As runoff patterns shift with a changing climate, it is critical to effectively communicate current and future flood risks, yet existing flood hazard maps are insufficient. Modifying, extending, or updating flood inundation extents is difficult, especially over large scales, because traditional floo...
