Abstract: Flood hazard mapping in Slovenia follows the EU Floods Directive, whereas erosion hazard mapping lacks a standardised methodology and is still primarily based on empirical judgement. Advances in two-dimensional hydraulic and morphodynamic modelling now enable a more comprehensive assessment of sediment dynamics. This study evaluates the potential of a 2D hydraulic sediment transport model to enhance erosion hazard assessment by integrating hydraulic conditions with geological soil composition, land use and sediment transport formulation. The modelling results provide a more precise representation of erosion–deposition patterns on floodplains and support the development of more reliable erosion hazard maps.
