Davenport Research Group @ CSU
Welcome! Our group explores research related to extreme hydroclimate events (especially extreme precipitation and flooding) and global climate change. We also conduct research on the socioeconomic impacts of natural hazards and climate variability, as well as adaptation to natural hazards. You can read more about our research here.
The group is led by Frances Davenport, an Assistant Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Colorado State University.
