Sustainable Measures for Mitigation of Flooding Hazards: a Case Study in Shanghai, China

Many coastal cities around the world have experienced the harmful consequences of sea level changes and temperature variations. The city of Shanghai in China also suffers from the serious consequences of these two climatic factors. The geological and climatic conditions of Shanghai make it sensitive to flooding risks during heavy rainfall events. This paper analyses the conditions of sea level changes, temperature variations, and heavy rainfall events in Shanghai. Correspondingly, eustatic sea level change, tectonic movement of the continent, and land subsidence in Shanghai have effects on sea level changes. Correlation analysis indicates extraordinary short duration rainfall events have a relationship with temperature variations due to global warming. Moreover, the number of extraordinary torrential rainfall events also has a correlation with sea level changes. -
An Auto-Ethnographic Inquiry of Border-Crossing
Department of Social Sciences and International Studies Embroidering Myself into Otherness: An Auto-ethnographic Inquiry of Border-crossing Joy Denise Scott This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of Curtin University May 2013 DECLARATION To the best of my knowledge and belief this thesis contains no material previously published by any other person except where due acknowledgment has been made. This thesis contains no material which has been accepted for the award of any other degree or diploma in any other university. Signature: ……………………………………………………… Date: …………………………………… ABSTRACT In this thesis I use auto-ethnography to explore the complexities and singularities of a western teacher immersed in the social reality of a Chinese university. I interrogate the unique experiences of my past life as ‘the foreigner’, ‘the special one’, ‘the imported expert’, ‘the cultural outsider’, and ‘the cultural novice’, in order to lay bare the complexity of what it means to work and live in China as a foreign university teacher and be recognised as different. This research focuses on notions of foreignness, and the ambiguities that arise when one operates as a teacher in a foreign culture, with a misguided and naïve understanding of one’s own specialness as a foreign expert. The conceptual framework underpinning my auto-ethnographical research is constructed from a theoretical approach that is emergent and cross-disciplinary, and incorporates cultural, social, postcolonial and feminist theory in relation to the paradoxical and ambivalent nature of difference. That is, this work attempts to make sense of what it means to live and teach in a location where everything is foreign, including myself. -
Land Subsidence and Water Management in Shanghai
Master thesis Land subsidence and water management in Shanghai Quanlong Wei May 2006 Land and water resource management 5/24/2006 ii Land and water resource management Master’s thesis Land subsidence and water management in Shanghai Copyright by Quanlong Wei Delft, the Netherlands May 2006 Committee members: prof.dr.ir. N.C. van de Giesen TU Delft Water Resources Management dr. ir. F.H.M. van de Ven TU Delft Water Resources Management dr.ir.Robert Verhaeghe TU Delft Transport &Planning Ir. David Biron Witteveen + Bos 5/24/2006 iii Land and water resource management 5/24/2006 iv Land and water resource management Abstract Land subsidence is the lowering of the land surface elevation due to the compaction of soil. It is a geological event that is accelerated by man through a long term exploration of the ground sources, and they represent a disruption of a natural equilibrium. Land subsidence combined with a global sea level rise creates a serious environmental problem in the coastal region. Land subsidence is an international hot issue now because it happens in lots of big cities. This thesis is about the land subsidence happening in Shanghai. It is a serious geology problem now. It results in permanent loss of ground elevation, lowers the standard of flood preventing establishments and increases the risk of natural disasters of typhoon, rainstorm, flood and astronomical spring tides. In summer, under the complex effect of land subsidence, river flood of Yangtze, local rainstorm, typhoon surge and annually high tide, the disaster of flood and waterlog can be very severe. -
