Flood dynamics

Essays on adaptation to environmental change

Floods have a high impact on society and nature. We can limit damage with knowledge about hydrological processes and accurate warning systems.

We aim to:

  • Understand the hydrological processes that cause river floods
  • Develop models for forecasting and scenario analyses (to assess the effect of changes in climate, land use and water management)
  • Accurately measure and forecast precipitation
  • Quantify the uncertainties in simulations
  • Compute flood occurrence probabilities
