Storylines of future extremes

About PerfectSTORM

In PerfectSTORM, we study the risk of cascading hazards of flooding after drought, focusing on hydro-social feedbacks. The project aims to provide guidance on future management of drought-to-flood events to boost the positive impacts of above-average rainfall on drought effects while reducing its impacts.
