Today, 21 students of the #ErasmusMundus #FloodRiskManagement MSc have successfully completed a 5-days intensive course on #qgis for hydrological applications at @tudresden in Tharandt, Germany. They've received the official QGIS certificate! What a nice group! #ihedelft
The 4th #DisastersAvoided newsletter https://mailchi.mp/b3109940a3d3/the-disasters-avoided-newsletter-13969498 focuses on #FloodRisk #FloodRiskManagement #Flooding #Floods #FloodManagement with several new flood-related case studies added to our Disasters Avoided website https://disastersavoided.com

Our latest research constructs a global map of the GP shape parameter, revealing how flood tail heaviness varies globally.
We investigate 4,482 streamflow series with record lengths ranging from 30 to 213 years.
We identify catchments with a higher likelihood of experiencing extreme floods.

The new Historical #Flood Events data layer (HFE) is now LIVE in #Canada! And updated continuously using media records.
"With over 1400 flood events documented in over 7000 locations, the #NRCan Historical Flood Events data layer provides an accessible way to view the who, what, when, and where of historical flood events in Canada."
