UF ABE: Big Questions, Global Reach – Dr. Young Gu Her
Dr. Her and colleagues examined the potential impact on the Everglades of climate change and the expected increase of severe weather events. Specifically, they examined the impact of runoff and nutrient loading on the western part of the Everglades. The Everglades are adjacent to many agricultural areas, which can complicate efforts to manage the health of these wetlands. Using several global circulation models to examine the impact of climate change on the Everglades region,

Sunny-day Flooding
This video was taken to record the moment and spatial extent of a sunny-day flooding event in North Miami on October 7, 2021, using a drone. This video helps understand the potential impacts of sea level rise on Southeast Florida. In the video, you can find areas flooded due to a king tide coming right after a storm event. Storm water in the storm water drainage system of the areas could not be discharged as the raised tide water blocked its outlet. The elevation of storm wat
