Learning Resources

The SEED-FD learning resources offer insights into the project’s innovative hydrological modelling and forecasting methods. New resources and information will be added regularly, so revisit this page to stay updated.

SEED-FD IN A NUTSHELL

The SEED-FD flyer provides information about the project, including its objectives, methods, phases, expected outcomes, and contact information. Download it for a quick overview of the SEED-FD project.

GloFAS

The Global Flood Awareness System (GloFAS), part of the Copernicus Emergency Management Service (CEMS), provides valuable flood forecasts for global river basins. The SEED-FD project aims to enhance GloFAS by integrating advanced hydrological data, increasing accuracy, and expanding its flood forecasting products to strengthen global disaster preparedness.

LISFLOOD

LISFLOOD is a hydrological model, which simulates floods and droughts. It powers the CEMS Early Warning Systems like GloFAS, providing real-time forecasts globally. SEED-FD further develops LISFLOOD by integrating data and innovative modelling techniques, ensuring more accurate predictions for better disaster management. Interested developers and hydrological scientists are invited to contribute.
