co-designed impact based forecasts

Dr. Nelson is part of a multi-institution research grant from NSF that is working to improve compound flood modeling and impact based forecasts. The 5-year project, "Towards a Water Equity Framework for Mitigating Multi-Flood Hazards Events in Puerto Rico: A Case Study for the San Juan Bay Estuary" integrates various sciences and local knowledge to improve numerical modeling of compound floods and develop impact-based forecasts derived from local understandings of past flood events and how they effect daily lives. We will be looking to hire a PhD student for Fall 2026. Keep looking at this space!
