Flooding is the most common natural disaster worldwide, impacting millions of people and threatening infrastructure, economies, and a sense of security. It is a complex phenomenon and is intrinsically linked to the actions of persons in the wider society. As climate patterns shift, these risks are escalating. Flooding events can be compounded with diverse drivers from both the land and the sea, with rising sea levels and unpredictable weather patterns making flooding more frequent and severe. The INFLUENCE project aims to improve the understanding of how factors like tides, climate, and the local ecosystems interact so we can build better warning systems that will help communities prepare for the future.
