In a commentary article published today in the American Geophysical Union journal Earth\u2019s Future, researchers at the University of California, Irvine and the University of Bristol in the United Kingdom \u2013 the latter also executives of U.K. flood risk intelligence firm Fathom \u2013 call on scientists to more accurately model these risks and caution against overly dramatized reporting of future risks in the news media.<\/p>\n<p>In the paper, the researchers urge the climate science community to turn away from an outdated approach to mapping flood hazards known as \u201cbathtub modeling,\u201d which is an assumption that floods spread out over areas as a level pool. The technique is often used as a straightforward way to visualize flood impact in coastal areas but, according to the authors, can lead to an oversimplified and less realistic picture of flood risk than more advanced methods. The alternative to bathtub modeling, they say, is dynamical modeling that solves physics-based equations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBathtub models can both overpredict and underpredict flooding,\u201d said co-author Brett Sanders, UC Irvine Chancellor\u2019s Professor of civil &amp; environmental engineering. \u201cOne of the biggest causes of error is that bathtub models fail to accurately account for the systems in place to protect people and assets, including storm drains, levees and pumping.\u201d <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/news.uci.edu\/2024\/12\/06\/scientists-urged-to-pull-the-plug-on-bathtub-modeling-of-flood-risk\/\">Read more at University of California &#8211; Irvine<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.enn.com\/articles\/75713-scientists-urged-to-pull-the-plug-on-bathtub-modeling-of-flood-risk\">ENN<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/scientists-urged-to-pull-the-plug-on-bathtub-modeling-of-flood-risk\/\">Scientists Urged to Pull the Plug on \u2018Bathtub Modeling\u2019 of Flood Risk<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[17250,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-135952","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-modeling-of-flood-risk","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135952","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=135952"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/135952\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=135952"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=135952"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=135952"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
