🌊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: cires.colorado.edu/news/dams…

Dam failures intensified 2023 flood tragedy in Libya

Satellite data and models found dam failures, rather than unprecedented rainfall, led to increased flood damage

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. scim.ag/4c1tVl3 🧵

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! Tomorrow, 17.4, 9:55 AM at #EGU24 meetingorganizer.copernicus.…
