Project abstract
PRINTFLOODS is a research fellowship project funded by AXA-Research Fund and endorsed by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission of UNESCO (IOC/UNESCO) as UN Ocean Decade Action. The project is aimed at strengthening coastal communities’ resilience through better forecasting and projecting compound flood risk. Using machine learning techniques, the project seeks to better predict compound flood risk and identify high-risk areas in order to strengthen anticipatory humanitarian action and index-based insurance, to reduce the impacts of floods induced by extreme weather events and sea level rise caused by climate change.
