Climate Change + Flood Risk: An Interactive Panel (Climate Week at Columbia Engineering)

LEAP presents this interactive discussion to explore the flood risks incurred by climate change, how modeling can support communities’ efforts to adapt to climate change, and how flood risk models are being improved.

During the workshop, participants will:
1. Learn about climate data and modeling, with a focus on flood risks;
2. Have the opportunity to ask questions to Columbia University flood risk experts;
3. Contribute ideas for how climate models can address their needs.

Panelists:
* George Deodatis (Vice Dean of Research for Columbia Engineering, Santiago and Robertina Calatrava Family Professor of Civil Engineering and Professor of Earth and Environmental Engineering, Columbia University)
* Candace Agonafir (Postdoctoral Research Scientist, Columbia Water Center)
* Fatoumata Camara (SP^2 Science Pathways Scholar, Barnard College)
* Adam Nayak (PhD Student, Earth and Environmental Engineering, Columbia University)

Facilitator:
* Savannah Thais (Associate Research Scientist, Data Science Institute, Columbia University)
