Projektbeschreibung der*des Nominierenden
| Professor Nicholas Pinter's research focuses on magnification of flood hazard as a result of man made and natural changes to river systems. On the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers he has made seminal contributions by documenting the worsening of flooding over time due to river engineering and how theses trend can be manifested in flood-frequency calculations. His approach can be considered as an independent test of model-driven analyses and documents how overreliance on structural flood protection may lead to flood hazard misinterpretations. |
