Press Release: FAU : Bridging Oceans: A U.S.-Japan Approach to Flood Risk and Climate Resilience

A joint U.S.-Japan project funded by the NSF and JST, involving researchers from FAU, Lehigh University, and Japanese institutions like Kyoto University, aims to develop a human-centered flood risk management framework.
