Frances Davenport, a PhD student at Stanford University in the Earth Systems Science department, was a part of the ground breaking study that found that intensifying precipitation contributed one-third of the financial costs of flooding in the United States over the past three decades. This begs the question… how does Climate Change impact flooding? What is the difference between snowmelt-driven and rain-driven flooding, and what does it have to do with Climate Change? How are flooding patterns changing over time? All insightful questions, answered in this episode.
