🌊The devastating 2023 flood in Derna, Libya, was driven by dam collapse rather than by extreme rainfall, according to new study co-authored by @yuvalshmilo (@CIRESnews visiting fellow + @CSDMS member). Read the CIRES story: https://t.co/D18MZXPteM

Published! 🚨
Our new paper in @ScienceAdvances analyzes the causes of the catastrophic flood in #Derna, Libya (09/23), and provides insights into #flood mitigation strategies in regions and times of uncertainty.

A new analysis concludes that dam failure, and not unexpectedly extreme rainfall, exacerbated the tragic flooding of Derna, Libya, in 2023. https://t.co/X6oSWicQLG

How rare were the catastrophic storm and flood in #Derna (Libya) on Sep. 23?
What could have been the outcome if dams weren't built upstream in the first place?
Find out in the talk by Armon, @yuvalshmilo, et al!

Editor's Pick:

New mathematical models show that the persistence of near-vertical cliffs in arid landscapes is maintained by infrequent but high-intensity rain storms.
