#VirginiaTech researchers are teaming up across disciplines to better predict hurricane-driven flooding and help communities prepare for extreme weather.
Here's how. ➡️ brnw.ch/21wU5aU
ALT A satellite image shows a large hurricane swirling over the ocean, with a clearly defined eye and dense cloud bands. Below the image, text reads: “VIRGINIA TECH RESEARCHERS ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE HURRICANE PREPAREDNESS & FLOOD WARNINGS” The Virginia Tech logo is displayed at the bottom center.

We are super excited to share Samuel’s first PhD paper 🤓📜Here, we address the limitations of transfer learning and show that, despite site-specific conditions, DL models can generalize spatiotemporal patterns of water levels 🌊 from tropical cyclones🌀 dx.doi.org/10.1029/2024WR039…
We just had the opportunity to present in this international workshop. Thanks to CMCC Foundation - Centro Euro Mediterraneo sui Cambiamenti Climatici @FOCCUS_eu Want to know more? Check the preprint article lead by @SODaramola #GoHokies @VirginiaTechCEE
