This paper reviews steps being taken by actors at international, national, regional and community levels to adapt to flood risk from tidal, fluvial, surface and groundwater sources. The AA. refer to existing inventories, national and sectoral
adaptation plans, flood inquiries, building and planning codes, city plans, research literature and international policy reviews. They distinguish between the enabling environment for adaptation and specific implementing measures to manage flood risk. The AA
. identify evidence of both types of adaptation following the catastrophic 2010/11 flooding in Victoria, Australia. However, significant challenges remain for managing transboundary flood risk (at all scales), protecting existing property at risk from
flooding, and ensuring equitable outcomes in terms of risk reduction for all. Adaptive management also raises questions about the wider preparedness of society to systematically monitor and respond to evolving flood risks and vulnerabilities.

Rather than looking back and examining the linkage between geomorphology and engineering over the last few decades, this paper seeks to identify how fluvial geomorphologists can further their contribution to the field engineering and educate
engineers about the value of geomorphology. Areas in which geomorphologists will increasingly be able to complement engineers in river management include risk and environmental impact assessment, floodplain planning, river audits, determination of instream

The AA. use Sayer’s (1992) notion of a ‘chaotic conception’ to describe the belief that there is a simple and general association between land management and downstream flood risk rather than the impacts of land management being spatially
and temporally contingent in relation to the particular geographical location, time period and scale being considered. Their argument has important practical consequences because it implies that land-management activities to reduce downstream flood risk
disparity is noted between the disciplines, hydrology being studied at catchment, subcatchment and reach scales, and biology generally at local level. The approach with most appeal for general risk assessment is based on the concept of hydrological
alteration. Finally, the AA. consider the potential of these methods as tools for hydrological risk assessment in European Water Framework Directive implementation.
provides an alternative tool for risk-based management of fluvial systems in the context of channel modifications and watershed disturbances.
of channel pattern and instability. An energy-based index was developed for estimating the risk of channel instability associated with specific stream power relative to sedimentary characteristics. The logistic regression approach developed in this study
The paper examines the relationships among the desirability of home-ownership, price risks and the return of housing investment. It argues that price risks may undermine the desirability of ownership. It shows that larger price risks and higher
level of risk aversion decrease the attractiveness of owning a house.

La géoarchéologie fluviale permet d'aborder la problématique de l'interaction hommes-milieux et de modéliser l'aléa de crue en termes de fréquence et de magnitude (submersion, érosion) et, ainsi, de juger du risque fluvial. Pour cela, les méthodes
d'étude des paléoenvironnements fluviaux doivent nécessairement et simultanément prendre en compte 3 composantes majeures de l'hydrogéomorphologie : la paléohydrographie, la paléohydrologie et la paléohydraulique. L'A. a appliqué cette approche en milieu
