Today may be #WinterBikeToWorkDay Day, but our faculty don't need an excuse to ride to campus! Profs. @fvdav @drdanteaches and @ProfJoeScalia bundled up to bike with their families this morning.
CSU and Fort Collins both hold bicycle-friendly platinum status. We 💚 Bikes!

Welcome to Mike Talbot, a new CEE PhD student! 👋
Mike will research the use of machine learning to better understand how climate change impacts flooding in mountainous regions under the advisement of Prof @fvdav.
He also hopes to tackle some Colorado 14ers! 🏔️ Welcome Mike!
My department is hiring in water resources/hydraulics! Potential focus areas include climate change impacts on water related civil infrastructure and/or physical modeling expertise. Come join us in Fort Collins! jobs.colostate.edu/postings/…
New opportunity for a postdoc to work with @watersecurity and me (and others at CSU) on a project looking at climate hazards and sustainable development using AI and Landsat imagery!

Climate change is making severe flooding events like the historic flooding in Yellowstone more common. Postdoctoral researcher Frances Davenport (@fvdav), an expert on hydrology and flooding, explores the connection in this piece for @ConversationUS. theconversation.com/climate-…

A study involving postdoctoral researcher @fvdav, led by @DRIScience, found that flood frequencies are underestimated because conventional risk assessment fails to consider flood drivers. Read more about the study here: dri.edu/study-explores-uncer…
New paper recently published in GRL using machine learning to analyze climate change and extreme precipitation

There’s lots of other cool stuff in the paper, including results using interpretable AI methods to see what the CNN actually learned!
You can also find the code for the analysis here:

I got to discuss my research on climate change, extreme precipitation, and flooding with @Ginger_Zee @ABCnews
on IG live yesterday. check out the interview to hear more! instagram.com/tv/CSFPXt4gFL9…
...and links below with more detail on the research I mention in the interview
