Flood Adaptation
Flood adaptation research focuses on developing and implementing strategies to mitigate the impacts of increasingly frequent and severe floods. Current efforts emphasize equitable distribution of benefits from adaptation measures, addressing disparities in access to resources and protection across different communities, often employing causal inference methods to evaluate policy effectiveness. Furthermore, research explores the use of unsupervised domain adaptation techniques, such as adversarial networks, to improve flood forecasting accuracy in data-scarce regions, aiming to achieve performance comparable to supervised models with significantly less training data. These advancements are crucial for enhancing flood resilience and promoting climate justice globally.
