Cooperative Agreement for affiliated Partner with North Atlantic Coast Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit (CESU)
U. S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Powell Center is offering a funding opportunity to a CESU Partner for research on “A global synthesis of flood impacts:
Understanding the country-level vulnerability and causes” This research will conduct the first comprehensive synthesis of how flood impacts vary globally across different demographics and as a function of flood risk exposure and protection levels.
Data will be gathered to assemble an aggregated global flood impact database, which will be used to develop a sector-specific definitional framework of floods and synthesize how impacts and risks vary across different sectors (e.g., urban, transportation, agriculture, power systems) and demographics (e.g., poverty, race, and human development) and investment in flood protection.
