My research examines flood risk and resilience in the Amite River Basin, Louisiana, using the catastrophic 2016 Louisiana flood as a central case study. I integrate flood-risk and exposure data, with socioeconomic, and housing-market indicators to investigate multiple dimensions of flood impact and adaptation.
