Understanding Rivers, Extreme Events, and Their Impact on Ecosystems
Fluvial Geomorphology and Extreme Events Lab (Flugeelab) is a multidisciplinary research group dedicated to studying river systems and the forces that shape them. We investigate how natural processes, human activities, and extreme hydrological events, such as floods and droughts, influence river morphology, ecosystem health, and watershed resilience.
What We Study
River Dynamics:
Understanding channel formation, sediment transport, and river evolution.
Extreme Events
Investigating floods, droughts, and human-induced changes to predict river system responses.
Geospatial and Computational Methods
Using remote sensing, GIS, and machine learning to model river behavior and assess vulnerability.
Why Our Work Matters
Rivers are crucial for maintaining biodiversity, ensuring a stable water supply, supporting agriculture, and sustaining livelihoods.
By understanding their dynamics and vulnerabilities, Flugeelab contributes to preserving ecosystem services, informing policy, and supporting resilient communities.
Our research translates scientific insights into strategies for sustainable river management in the face of climate change and human pressures.
