✨ This week at #EGU26, SEED-FD featured a poster at @EuroGeosciences on how low soil moisture can lead to reduced cereal harvests in Europe.
This helps to better anticipate drought impacts on agriculture. 🌾

[SEED-FD @seed_fd]

🚀 As we enter 2026, SEED-FD continues its work to advance flood and drought prediction to save lives and livelihoods.

Our research strengthens CEMS early warning services, supporting anticipatory action through integration into services like GloFAS and GDO. #seed_fd #HorizonEU

[SEED-FD @seed_fd]

✨ Celebrating SEED-FD's 2nd year:
improving global flood and drought forecasts, sharing videos and updates, presenting at conferences, connecting with #HorizonEU projects, and publishing our first paper.
In 2026 we will expand validation and share guidance on using our results.

[SEED-FD @seed_fd]

🎁 These days, many of us look forward to rest and time with loved ones.

🏠 A safe home matters – yet floods and droughts still affect communities worldwide.

SEED-FD strengthens early warning systems to help people prepare. Wishing you peace and safety this season!

🌎 Why was the #Paraná basin selected as a #seed_fd use case?
Flash floods, multi-year droughts, and high population density make it a perfect real-world lab to test and validate improved #flood and #drought forecasting models.
