    Equitable RESilience solutions to strengthen the link between CUltural landscapEs and coMmunitiEs
    Innovative solutions to protect Europe’s cultural heritage. Cultural heritage is an important aspect of our communities and economies, but it is vulnerable to climate change and other risks like pollution and over-tourism. Therefore, fostering resilience is essential. In this context, the EU-funded RescueME project will show the links between cultural landscapes and communities. It will demonstrate that an innovative data-driven, community-based, heritage-centric actionable landscape approach to resilience enhancement can protect our cultural heritage and support the transition to a green society and economy. Specifically, the project will test the effectiveness of an actionable framework based on the resilient historical landscape approach complemented by data, models, methods and tools to protect European cultural heritage. Five case studies will be carried out at European coastal landscapes.

    Simulation and analysis of the hydrological and morphological development of the tidal river Elbe for the period 2013 to 2018
    Within the overall ELMOD project, the sub-project of TUHH aims to improve the understanding of transport processes in the bottom boundary layer with a focus on the time-dependent change in erosion and deposition properties of freshly deposited fine sediments under tidal influence. For this purpose, exper-imental investigations of sedimentological phenomena in the laboratory and measurements in nature are carried out. Consolidation and erosion experi-ments are conducted on sediment samples from the tidal river Elbe to deter-mine data and parameterisations required for modelling. Furthermore, meas-urements in the area of sedimentation focal points of the tidal river Elbe will be used to the transport processes in the bottom boundary layer will be inves-tigated in more detail.

    The Residual Risks of Extreme Floods: a challenge for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
    In this project, we propose to create an international network of experts and a community of practice that address the residual risk dilemma in relation to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this initial pilot stage, we will make emphasis on: SDG 11 Sustainable cities and communities, SDG 13 Climate action, SDG 17 Partnership for the goals. During the second half of the 20th century, physical exposure to the risk of flooding dramatically increased, primarily because of the occupation of flood-prone land, increasing the exposure of human populations to devastating floods. This trend has occurred despite national policies to prevent settlement in floodplains, facilitated in large measure by the false sense of security engendered by flood-control structures, such as dikes. People who live behind protective dikes are considered to be ‘out of the official floodplain’ and may assume they are safe from flooding. In fact, they are still exposed to floods larger than the design flood, and to flooding from infrastructure failure. Ignoring residual risk of floods beyond the design event or resulting from poor condition of flood control infrastructure can have catastrophic consequences, as Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans in 2005 and the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami in Japan showed. Such severe flooding can wipe out many years of progress towards SDGs. How do our societies manage these low-probability, high-consequence events? How do we communicate the residual flood risk to the public? And, most importantly, by addressing these issues, how may we foster the achievement of the SDGs by 2030?Our project innovates by creating a network focusing on the interplay between SDGs and residual risk and its management, a topic largely ignored in practice globally. We will collaboratively design a framework to integrate residual risk in local planning efforts, create a platform to facilitate advances in basic knowledge and tools in support of SDGs centered residual flood risk issues, and identify research needs on multiple SDGs that can benefit other countries worldwide.
