What are the key elements of extreme flood-producing storms?
How do these elements behave in a changing climate?
This research direction focuses on the mechanisms of flood generation at global and continental basin scales and their responses to climate change, with particular attention to key flood-producing rainfall factors and the spatiotemporal variability of basin properties.
