We develop and use state-of-the-art datasets and models for assessing flood and drought risk on local to global scales to increase our process understanding and to assess the effectiveness of disaster risk reductions solutions.
Projects Flood, drought and multi-risk assessment
Our research on flood, drought and multi-risk focuses on interactions between natural hazards and society to understand risk processes.
