great new work led by my colleague Helena. over twenty years of building damage from #flooding mapped in eastern NC. repetitive flooding more common than previously thought. methods could be applied nationally. 🧪⚠️

Check out our new paper in Earth’s Future!

We mapped 78 flood events in eastern NC from 1996-2020 and found flooding (& repeat flooding) is more common than we previously thought.

Big shout-out to #UNC researcher @hmgarciaaa.bsky.social, whose research is helping property owners understand their real #floodrisk in #northcarolina. Her work featured in @nbcnews.com is a game-changer for #climateresilience & community safety. www.nbcnews.com/science/clim...
New study targets past flooding as key to helping property owners assess climate threats
The new maps focus on North Carolina, but the methods could be used to create similar ones nationwide
