The Floods Working Group will investigate past flood events and bring together many researchers, including geologists, geographers, historians, modelers, statisticians, and hydrologists.

In a recent study in Environmental Research Letters, members of our Asia2k working group (Zhang et al.) address modified climate with long term memory in tree ring proxies.

The aim of this project is to assess changes in global aridity over the last millennium to extend our understanding of long-term changes in regional hydroclimate, and evaluate how realistically future drought risk is simulated by CMIP5-PMIP3 climate models.
