River flooding is expected to become more frequent and more severe under climate change. Future hazard maps estimating local flooding can help communities adapt.
Researchers from the Institute of Industrial Science, The University of Tokyo examined two methods of constructing future hazard maps and found that maps created by lookup method were more accurate. These maps revealed populated areas missed by the historical maps that would be at risk of severe flooding under climate change.
