Thesis title: 'An Integrated Flood Impact Assessment Framework to Support Rapid Post-Flood Response and Long-Term Flood Defence Investment Decisions'

This research develops an integrated framework to support both rapid post-flood response and long-term flood defence investment decisions. It uses Earth observation and socioeconomic data to assess where and how economic activity is disrupted by flooding, and how affected areas recover over time. The research also examines the economic protection provided by flood defence infrastructure during actual flood events. By connecting post-flood impact assessment with infrastructure evaluation, it aims to provide timely evidence for disaster response and a stronger basis for flood risk management and investment decisions.
