    Next week is an exciting one here at IRIS, with two students defending their Masters theses! Check them out: ⎯ “Redefining the Bounds of approximations to the Sant-Venant Equations for Overland and Riverine Flows in Compound Flood Simulations” Logan Bayer, MS candidate in Engineering, Emphasis in Environmental Engineering Date: Wednesday, October 30, 8:30amLocation: I-STEM 2 […]

  • Learn about compound flooding with Weather Geeks

    Learn about compound flooding with Weather Geeks

    What is compound flooding and what does it have to do with Hurricane Helene? Learn all about it on the recent Weather Geeks podcast, where IRIS affiliate Matt Bilskie, whose research centers on modeling flood events on the coast, was interviewed about his work by Marshall Shepherd, the IRIS Climate and Outreach Director and Georgia […]

  • New publication simplifies compound flood modeling for resilience applications

    New publication simplifies compound flood modeling for resilience applications

    In a new paper published last month in AGU’s Water Resources Research, IRIS affiliates Felix Santiago-Collazo, Matt Bilskie and experts from Louisiana State University describe how they attempted to make compound flooding easier to understand. Instead of creating a large framework that accounts for any number of the small factors that influence flooding events, the […]
