Filename: all_unique_publications.csv Short description: This file contains data representing 201 unique publications that were identified from literature search at the intersection of three interconnected fields: flood management, decision making under deep uncertainty, and green infrastructure.

C. Filename: all_unique_casestudies_GI.csv Short description: This file contains data representing 56 unique case studies using green infrastructure as an adaptation strategy that were identified from the 110 unique case studies in all_unique_casestudies_GI.csv.
