Ice jam flood hazard assessment and mapping of the Peace River at the Town of Peace River (2015)
Conference Proceeding
Lindenschmidt, K., Das, A., Rokaya, P., Chun, K., & Chu, T. (2015). Ice jam flood hazard assessment and mapping of the Peace River at the Town of Peace River. In 18th Workshop on the Hydraulics of Ice Covered Rivers (18-21)

Efforts are underway in Canada to develop, update and extend flood risk assessments and mapping for river sections prone to flooding. However, most of these previous works are limited to the open-water case. Very little has been done to include flood...

Has implementation of local air quality management reduced local nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the UK? (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Barnes, J., Hayes, E. T., & Longhurst, J. W. (2014). Has implementation of local air quality management reduced local nitrogen dioxide concentrations in the UK?. In J. Longhurst, & C. A. Brebbia (Eds.), Air Pollution XXII (365-376). https://doi.org/10.2495/AIR140301

In February 2014 the European Commission launched legal proceedings against the UK for its failure to cut excessive levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The failure of national action to achieve the necessary reduction in NO2 places an increasing onus o...

Connecting Cairo to the Nile: Opportunities for public access and alternative transportation (2013)
Conference Proceeding
Gohar, A., & Kondolf, G. M. (2014). Connecting Cairo to the Nile: Opportunities for public access and alternative transportation. In SB13 Cairo- Democratic Transition and Sustainable Communities: Overcoming Challenges Through Innovative Practical Solutions

If Egypt is ‘the gift of the Nile’, certainly the Nile is the heart of Cairo, Egypt’s greatest city. Ironically, however, over the 20th century, the Nile became inaccessible to ordinary Cairenes along most of its banks, which are now occupied by priv...

Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Farmani, R., Atkinson, S., Butler, D., Cheng, V., Echenique, M., Grinevich, V., …Zachariadis, V. (2012). Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions.

An integrated (socio-economic, technical) approach based on land use and water demand management is proposed in order to adapt to the challenges of growing water stress and supply vulnerability. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is examin... Read More about Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions.
