A month ago we had a great field trip to Yuracmayo basin with @PerfectSTORM_VU! One of the largest dams for water supply for #Lima city faces drought scenarios with glacier extinction, wetland degration, increasing temperature & social pressure @UTECuniversidad @InaigemPeru

@PerfectSTORM_VU @VU_IVM Our prototype/trial/first datathon completed with triumphant success! Adding 48 new entries in our dataset, accompanied with interesting stories! 🌱Awards on most/best entries @hdmendoza_ and best story @AnneVanLoon Stay tuned for the next Datathon!

"I knew the drying and the rising of the river, we used to dance together in long trances of rhythms" On language and embodied knowledges of riverine communities in the Peruvian Amazon @PerfectSTORM_VU https://t.co/ry5wldzerj

Kick-off to the 3rd International Conference - National Hazards and Risks in a Changing World tomorrow! Looking forward to insightful presentations, engaging discussions and collaborative efforts! Check here: https://t.co/L2FnE7PA5J @NatRiskChange @kan_risk#ReducingRisksTogether

It has started! The Natural Hazard & Risk conference in Amsterdam. @PerfectSTORM_VU is represented by @rubenweesie with a poster on droughts & floods in Kenya and by me with an oral on storylines of drought-to-flood events. Looking forward to interactions with everyone here.

The Amazon rainforest doesn't just remove ~2 billions tons of CO2 every year. It also moves ~20 billions tons of water through evotranspiration, the so-called "flying rivers", critical for planetary balance. I wish more people knew this.

🚨New paper alert! 🚨 In our new study, we show that the co-existence of social groups with different risk attitudes influences the implementation of individual and collective adaptation actions to droughts and floods. More details here: https://t.co/TsEOYCyUzQ

Today we welcomed two new postdocs to the @VU_IVM #drought group: Charles Wamucii (@icisk_eu project) & Danai Kontou (@PerfectSTORM_VU project). With a small delegation incl Jose Henao, who started his postdoc last month, we enjoyed lunch in the botanical gardens @VUamsterdam ☀️

Following the stories that flow from rivers I'm happy to be back in Iquitos with 2 MSc students doing their thesis on drought and flood policy effectiveness (Stefano), and on using serious games as a co-creation opportunity for rethinking adaptation measures (Senna). @VU_IVM

@Alessia_Matano presented her @PerfectSTORM_VU research on the influence of drought on streamflow generation processes & regime shifts to a large crowd of interested people #EGU24. Papers in review & in prep.

Thanks! I enjoyed giving an overview of the literature review & data analysis done in the @PerfectSTORM_VU project @ERC_Research. Great work by @MH_Barendrecht @Alessia_Matano @rubenweesie @hdmendoza_ and many partners & coauthors.

Our PhD @hdmendoza_ will present her ongoing work on living with drought and flood in the context of Peruvian Amazon. See you there! #drought #flood #waterjustice

Our projects @PerfectSTORM_VU and @RECEIPT_eu highlighted in this Horizon Magazine. @hdmendoza_ @Alessia_Matano @rubenweesie @raedhamed1 @bart_vd_hurk @JohannaKoehler @memorystories @MH_Barendrecht

With each cycle of #drought and #flood, people risk becoming more vulnerable. Learn more ➡️ https://t.co/k0uQomeV6r #ResearchImpactEU

This coupled and complex understanding can help design of robust measures that hold under future risk scenarios. 5/5

The necessity for the analysis of system-wide, short-term and long-term implications is already recognized for both drought and flood risk management separately. But we suggest that this should also be expanded to the study and management of drought and flood risk together. 4/5

In terms of impacts, there is clear evidence that drought-to-flood events cause more impacts than if the hazards would occur on their own. Examples are breaking levee systems and drought-to-flood related water quality problems. 3/5

We find that drought can increase subsequent flood occurrence and severity due to increased surface runoff, but it can also decrease subsequent flooding due to storage depletion. There is little evidence as to which process may generally be dominant. 2/5

New publication! 🎉 Based on analysis of literature and a global assessment of historic cases, we show how drought can affect flood risk. We also assess under which circumstances drought-to-flood interactions can lead to increased or decreased risk. 1/5 https://t.co/J6hOG0Hu5c
