Title: Hurricanes, floods and groundwater HydroLearn Module
Presentation Type: Lightning Talk
Abstract: “You have been tasked to evaluate if a permit to build a new community center in the U.S. Atlantic Coast can be granted”. Which of the proposed sites will be safer in the case of hurricanes? Will groundwater cause flooding? How can time-series of different hydrologic parameters support your decision to recommend the permit? Students will create report-quality time-series based on wells, rain gages, and bouyes data to help them answer these questions and make a decision. Explore more and learn how to plan for hurricanes to build resilience at the “Hurricanes, groundwater and floods HydroLearn Teaching Module” – https://edx.hydrolearn.org/courses/course-v1:PS_NSU+NRES304+2024_T1/about
