Reducing flood inundation hazard and risk across Aotearoa-New Zealand
Funding institution: NIWA (New Zealand)
Period: 2020-2024
Description: In this project funded by the MBIE Ministry of New Zealand, NIWA, in collaboration with different New Zealand universities and the GeoOcean group, is developing a flood database containing consistent flood hazard maps considering the effects of climate change on both the intensity, as well as temporal and spatial structure of the storms. Our group is collaborating in the feasibility of hybrid hydrodynamic/neural network model to reduce the numerical modelling load and enable probabilistic modelling of compound events, using Wairewa catchment as a case study.
