Journal of Coastal and Riverine Flood Risk

About Journal of Coastal and Riverine Flood Risk

The Journal of Coastal and Riverine Flood Risk is a completely free and open access community-based journal. All papers are rigorously peer-reviewed in a double-blind fashion. Its mission is to publish quantitative and qualitative studies on all aspects of coastal and riverine risks. This focus includes (but is not limited to) risk management and disaster mitigation, climate adaptation strategies, the forecasting of events, flood emergency response and post-disaster surveys, and reconstruction and planning.

The scope of hazards covered includes events affecting coastal and riverine areas, including atmospheric, oceanographic, volcanic and seismic (as long as these take place close to the coastline, in islands, along rivers or underwater) events. These include, but are not limited to, tsunamis, storm surges, high-waves, river and pluvial floods originating from a variety of other phenomena, and flooding in (low-lying) coastal regions in general, or any combination of sources (compound flooding).

Interdisciplinary topics that deal with the described hazards through a combination of engineering, natural science, social science and/or disaster risk management are welcomed. Studies can be related to the processes of the hazards, their impact on society, and how to deal with these hazards (through any parts of the disaster management cycle). Examples include the investigation and planning of structural and non-structural coastal and riverine risk management, sea level rise and climate change impacts and adaptation strategies. Case studies and post-disaster field surveys whose findings add value to the understanding of hazards and how to improve resilience to future events through build-back-better processes are also within the scope of the journal.

JCHS is hosted by our publisher TU Delft Open, ensuring availability of archived material in perpetuity. Papers are published online individually as they are accepted and format is approved our a team of 15 editors.
