A new NOVA documentary premiering next week features Marshall Shepherd, Director of the UGA Atmospheric Sciences program and IRIS Associate Director of Climate Science and Outreach.

“Superfloods” discusses the alarming threat of unprecedented flooding, such as that seen during Hurricane Helene last fall or in Texas over the Fourth of July weekend. While at one time rare, these giant floods are becoming increasingly frequent.

From PBS: “Discover how hidden atmospheric phenomena, combined with a warming planet, are creating a new era of risk. Can science offer a lifeline to communities facing an increasingly dangerous future?”

Superfloods premieres on PBS and digital platforms October 29: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/video/superfloods/
