Global riverine flood risk – how do hydrogeomorphic floodplain maps compare to flood hazard maps?

<p>Riverine flood risk studies often require the identification of areas prone to potential flooding. This modelling process can be based on either (hydrologically derived) flood hazard maps or (topography-based) hydrogeomorphic floodplain maps. In this paper, we derive and compare riverine fl...
