Project “Would the Northern European Enclosure Dam really protect Sweden from sea level rise? (NEEDS)”, funded by FORMAS grant 2020-00982
Ca 4 million SEK; I am the PI.
January 2021 – December 2024

The aim of the project is to determine what causes flooding in Sweden: remote effects that could be blocked out by distant sea walls, or local effects such as precipitation or tides. We’re using a combination of all data sources (in-situ, remote sensing, models) that we will analyse with help from Machine Learning.

Team:

• Myself (mostly for supervision);
• David Ek, Master’s student, April 2021 – April 2022;
• Lea Poropat, Postdoc, starting June 2021;
• Heather Reese;
• Collaboration with Dan Jones and Scott Hosking from the British Antarctic Survey AI Lab.
