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!

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-…

Climate change is making flooding worse: 3 reasons the world is seeing more record-breaking deluges...

Extreme downpours brought deadly flooding to the Appalachian region, just a few weeks after the destructive Yellowstone River flood.

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…

Study Explores Uncertainties in Flood Risk Estimates

In a new study, Guo Yu, Ph.D., examined the most common drivers (rainfall, snowmelt, and rain-on-snow events) of historic floods and investigated the impact of different flood types on the resulting...
