metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: In Siberia, floods are one of the most dangerous natural disasters. The danger of floods varies
  under climatic and anthropogenic changes, as well as socio-economic development. Our
  aim was to study the current position of problems associated with flood hazard. A key to
  understanding the flood situation is geographical and statistical analysis of the floods for the
  period of climate change (1985–2019). Such analyses address the following aspects: study of
  flood genesis and recurrence, the severity of the impact for floods of different genesis; analysis
  of runoff maxima as the principal cause of floods; analysis of the spatial distribution of settlements
  vulnerable to flooding; analysis of ice jams and ice dams as a specific natural factor
  causing floods in Siberia; assessment of the degree of danger, and identification of areas with
  different integral flood danger. In Siberia, more than 1400 settlements are flooded at regular
  intervals. Most of them are concentrated in the southern, most developed territories in the Ob,
  Tom and Yeniseiy basins. In Siberia, rainfall, mixed (from snow melting with rainfall) and icedam
  floods are the most dangerous. They have the highest recurrence and severity of impact.
  The greatest flood risk is in the most populated and economically developed southern regions
  within the Ob, Lena and Yenisey rivers and Lake Baikal basins. Territories with the highest
  risk of floods were determined. For the Baikal region, one of the most developed territories of
  Siberia, the flood hazard was determined for all administrative districts. Flood hazard maps
  for Siberian regions can be the basis for developing flood adaptation strategies.
