Let's talk science! Devastating flooding events – what causes them?
internal events | seminars, workshops |
SEMINAR IN ENGLISH When extreme rainfall hit Västernorrland, roads and railway tracks were severely damaged by flooding and erosion. But what drives these extreme flows, and why are some areas more vulnerable than others?
How do precipitation, soil properties, forest cover and forestry interact with drainage infrastructure to shape flood and erosion risks? And as climate change brings more intense rainfall and faster snowmelt, what can we expect in the future, and how can we better predict and prepare for these events?
Participation from Ultuna, Alnarp and Skinnskatteberg will be offered via Videokonferens.
Participants:
Hjalmar Laudon, department for forest ecology and management, SLU.
Anja Lomander, Swedish Forest Agency.
William Lidberg, department for forest ecology and management, SLU.
Moderator:
Lenka Kuglerová, department for forest ecology and management, SLU.
Let's talk science! is a seminar series initiated by the Faculty of forest sciences to invigorate the scientific conversation within SLU. Can you think of topics that you would like to discuss with your collegues at the faculty? Please, send your suggestion to annika.mossing@slu.se.
