Human and economic losses from river flooding with anthropogenic warming

This repository contains the data set derived from a modelling framework developed to evaluate present and future impacts from river flooding and described in the scientific paper "Increased Human and economic losses from river flooding with anthropogenic warming", published in Nature Climate Change. The repository contains the following data, for more details please refer to the "readme.doc" file. Static and dynamic exposure maps (land use, economic variables, population distribution) global distributed maps of economic damage from river flooding for the present and future periods. Maps are provided for each model realization (i.e. combination of a global climate model and a global hydrological model) global maps of population affected by river flooding for the present and future periods, computed with current socioeconomic conditions and with SSP3 and SSP5 population projections. Maps are provided for each model realization tables of socio-economic impacts (fatalities, mortality rates, economic losses, population exposed) aggregated per continents, macro-regions and countries. Tables are provided for each model realization Tables of the variables used as input data in the impact assessment procedureThe research leading to these results has received funding from the European Union Seventh ramework Programme FP7/2007-2013 under grant agreement no 603864 (HELIX: High-End cLimate Impacts and eXtremes; www.helixclimate.eu).
