SEED-FD

Floods and droughts pose a serious threat to communities, especially in data-scarce regions with limited early warning systems. The SEED-FD research project, funded by Horizon Europe, is advancing the global prediction of extreme hydrological events.

How does SEED-FD improve forecasting?
By integrating data from satellites and local micro-sensors, SEED-FD enhances the accuracy of flood and drought predictions, helping to protect lives, vital resources, and infrastructure. Building on the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), SEED-FD develops enhanced prediction systems for global application. More precise forecasts lead to better preparedness and resilience in a rapidly changing climate.

The project is funded by the European Union, Grant agreement ID: 101135110.
