UBC Researchers Say Scientists Have Underestimated Forests’ Ability to Prevent Major Floods
UBC FES researchers argue that a widely used method to understand and predict flood risk has led scientists to miscalculate how forests can prevent major flooding.
UBC study: Tracking flood frequency key to protecting B.C. communities
UBC researchers are calling for a shift in how B.C. manages flood risk as a new study shows focusing solely on flood size underestimates the real threat – flood frequency is rising due to climate change.
