About
The Flood Crosscutting (CC) Initiative is a global project initiated under the auspices of GEWEX/WCRP which allows the GEWEX Hydroclimatology Panel (GHP) to propagate flood modeling and research knowledge from one region to the other and synthesize results globally.
The Flood CC Initiative brings together research communities that various funding agencies have cultivated to advance flood research and assessment. The goal is to identify opportunities where global collaborations can uniquely advance more approaches to understand flood consequences and identify the data, research infrastructure, and initiatives necessary for impactful partnership on this subject.
Monthly Meeting
To help move this initiative forward, an online meeting is hosted every first Friday of the month at
09:00 am (EDT) to discuss ideas and engage with the community on this important topic.
