The end goal will be to place flood hazards into perspective and set the stage for a discussion of flood frequency an alysis.\nDru Germanoski\, VanArtsdalen Professor of Geology and Environmen tal Geoscience and Co-Chair of the programs in Environmental Science and S tudies at Lafayette College. His recent research has focused on groundwate r surface water interaction in watersheds in eastern Pennsylvania and also in central Nevada.\n\n“Understanding the ‘100-year’ flood on our Ch anging Planet”\nThis portion of the presentation will address questions such as what exactly is the "100-year" (actual 1%) flood and how are FEMA floodplain maps developed? We will describe the process by which floods ar e quantified and mapped\, and discuss inherent uncertainties in this proce ss. We will also explore the likely impacts of changing land use and chang ing precipitation patterns on the 100-yr flood.\nDavid Brandes is Prof of Civil &\; Environmental Engineering at Lafayette College and is co-Chai r of the programs in Environmental Science &\; Environmental Studies. H is recent research in hydrology has focused on the impacts of land develop ment on streamflow regimes\, particularly the baseflow portion\, and the h ydraulics of detention basins.\n\nFree to attend\, bring your lunch and qu estions!
