Flood hazards research is a field that focuses on understanding and predicting the risks associated with flooding events. This includes studying the causes of floods, such as heavy rainfall, snowmelt, storm surges, and dam failures, as well as the impacts of flooding on communities, infrastructure, and the environment. Researchers in this area develop models and methodologies to assess flood risk, identify vulnerable areas, and develop strategies for mitigation and adaptation. The goal of flood hazards research is to improve our understanding of flooding events and to develop measures to reduce the impact of floods on society.
