Compound Flooding Risk Assessment

Compound Flooding Risk Assessment

This research area aims to develop an integrated hydroclimate and flooding risk assessment framework. It fills the gap in high-resolution hydroclimate data which is critically important for local stakeholders and resources managers to understand the magnitudes and/or directions of future climatic changes and take appropriate adaptive climate actions. The main activities include: (a) carrying out an integrated assessment of hydroclimate risks through the development of high-resolution climate projections (in the order of ~1km resolution) and a systematic quantification of hydrological and flooding risks in both urban areas and natural watersheds (in the order of ~1m resolution), and (b) developing a GIS- and web-based hydroclimate data portal which allows free and easy access to the latest hydroclimate data and flood maps.

The Climate Smart Lab would like to acknowledge various funding support from NSERC (DG/RTI/Alliance/CREATE), SSHRC, NRFR, CFI, Mitacs, NRCan, AAFC, NRC, ACOA, Government of PEI, Genome Atlantic, City of Charlottetown, Island Nature Trust, and many other industries and organizations.

Here in the Climate Smart Lab, we are a group of people developing sustainable climate solutions with cutting-edge technologies to help build climate-resilient communities. Collectively, we are working together with experts from all disciplines to build a climate-smart future for the next generation and many generations to come.
