Internship description:
The Maghreb region faces a growing challenge in managing the devastating impacts of floods, as these events have become more frequent and severe in recent decades. The region's increasing vulnerability to floods stems from a combination of rapid urbanization, population growth, land-use changes, and climate variability. To address this pressing issue, it is crucial to deepen our understanding of the underlying physical processes that drive flood events. Advancing this knowledge will enable the development of more effective preparation, mitigation, and response strategies, ultimately enhancing resilience to floods and safeguarding lives, infrastructure, and ecosystems across the Maghreb. This Postdoc position aims to contribute to this critical effort by focusing on cutting-edge research in flood dynamics, hydrological modelling, and risk management.
