Important datesProgramVenue RegistrationContact

The distant past often is an untapped source of knowledge. Past floods, victories, and hardships provide data and stories to inspire future generations. In this seminar, we take you along projects onto past extreme floods and show how we can integrate geomorphologic, sedimentologic, archaeologic, and historic research with numerical modelling to unravel flood history. We will present recent and upcoming projects and discuss: what other goldmines lie in our past? Highlights include:

  • ~600-800 – The birth of the IJssel river
  • 1374 – The highest Rhine discharge in a 1000 years
  • 1672 – The largest man-made inundation to defend Holland
  • And much more…
