Riskmap Germany
 |
The aim of the project is the quantification of risks due to natural and man-made hazards. For the area of Germany, risk maps for winter storm, earthquake and flood are developed. Further research is carried out in the fields of asset assessment, comparison of natural hazards, impact on infrastructure and data management solutions. |
Megacity Istanbul
 |
The Megacities project is an interdisciplinary project to analyse the consequences of earthquakes in rapidly growing metropolitan areas; as a case study the city of Istanbul was selected. CEDIM aims at developing methods for monitoring earthquake hazard, fragility, and vulnerability. These methods should allow for near real-time updating of relevant parameters in order to cope with the development of the city. |
Modelling Extreme Flood
 |
The aim research project is the development of a modelling system to quantify risks of extreme flooding in large river basins. In the system, computer models and modules are coupled together to simulate the functional chain: hydrology – hydraulics – polder diversion – dyke failure – flooding – damage estimate – risk assessment. |
