Flooding is the overflow of water onto land that is typically dry, causing damage to properties, infrastructure, and sometimes loss of life. It can be caused by heavy rainfall, rapid snowmelt, storm surges, or the failure of dams or levees. Flooding is a significant natural hazard that can have wide-ranging impacts on communities and ecosystems. Research in this area focuses on understanding the causes and impacts of flooding, developing strategies to mitigate and adapt to flood events, and predicting and managing flood risk. This research includes studies on hydrology, climate change, flood modeling, flood forecasting, floodplain management, and disaster response and recovery. The goal of research on flooding is to improve our understanding of this complex phenomenon and to help communities better prepare for and respond to flood events.
