Climate Proof Flood Risk Management

The design of adaptation responses to flood risks requires insight in the effectiveness of individual adaptation measures, such as flexible structures to control water levels and measures to reduce wave attacks. The main aim of this research programme is to perform an in-depth interdisciplinary assessment of these innovative types of measures (read more). The Consortium will:
