Vulnerability, hazard and climate change hotspot mapping

Lead: University of Southampton, Chris Hill & Javapdur University, Tuhin Ghosh

WP2 will examine the vulnerability, environmental stressors and hazards of a range of climate change and biophysically driven scenarios across the four study deltas.The WP will geographically define and where possible quantify the key hazard / environmental stressor components, such as marine and freshwater flood, drought, erosion, salinization etc, their magnitude, probability and spatial distribution through time. It is essentially delta specific, yet will seek to draw cross-delta characteristics.

Work Tasks:

2.1 Develop a conceptual model of current climate change and environmental stress / risk

2.2 Develop scenarios of climate and socio-environmental change

2.3 Establish data management protocols and model/data standardisations across the DECCMA project

2.4 Production and validation of hazard, vulnerability and risk maps for each delta: updated hotspot mapping.

2.5 Combining bio-physical hazard and socio-economic vulnerability maps under change scenarios: hotspot mapping simulations.
