Floods like the one in the river Ahr valley, Germany, and storm surges during extreme weather events are increasing due to climate change. The risk of residential houses being destroyed under the pressure of the water is ever-present.

The scientist has now been awarded the prestigious Consolidator Grant from the European Research Council (ERC).
