Metropolisation, urbanisation and flood debacle modeling exposures of Yakutsk (Russia)

International audience Some circumpolar regions as Yakutsk in the North Eastern Siberia are characterised by an emerging process of metropolisation. The emergence of large urban areas in Yakutsk increases the level of vulnerability of the population of the Lena’s river debacle flooding. A spatial mo...

Description
Summary:International audience Some circumpolar regions as Yakutsk in the North Eastern Siberia are characterised by an emerging process of metropolisation. The emergence of large urban areas in Yakutsk increases the level of vulnerability of the population of the Lena’s river debacle flooding. A spatial model based on remote sensing measures the level of urban population exposure of flooding, the vulnerability to the spring breakup flood risk and potential consequences.
