This presentation draws on research in southeast Michigan \u003Cspan\u003Ewhere infrastructure errors caused flooding even without local rain. It also explores \u003C\/span\u003Eongoing work on real-time urban flood forecasting, combining hydrodynamic modeling, precipitation forecasts, and machine learning to predict flooding days in advance and trace where floodwaters come from. Relevant for anyone interested in urban infrastructure, climate resilience, or flood prediction.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003EAbout the Presenter\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003EValeriy Ivanov is Professor in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Michigan. His research interests involve physical surface and subsurface hydrology, floods, climate science and hydrologic impacts, plant water relations and ecohydraulics. Current research projects focus on Amazon rainforest ecohydrology; climate change and hydrometeorological impacts on reindeer herding in the Arctic; and the development of novel, hybrid first-principles \/ machine-learning frameworks for fast, real-time assessment of flooding impacts for decision-making. His education includes: 1996 - Diploma in Hydrology obtained at Moscow State University, Russia; 2002 - M.S. and 2006 - Ph.D. obtained at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, U.S. In 2006, he pursued Ziff Postdoctoral Fellowship at the Center for the Environment, Harvard University and, in 2007, he began a faculty position at the University of Michigan.\u003C\/p\u003E\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cstrong\u003ERegister for both in-person and virtual participation\u003C\/strong\u003E\u003Cspan\u003E. \u0026nbsp;\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/p\u003E","phone":"","contactname":"Corrie Griffith","email":"corrie.griffith@asu.edu","delta":"0","alias":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/event\/flood-connectivity-and-prediction-urbanscapes?id=0","ticketing_rsvp_txt":"Register ","ticketing_rsvp_txt2":"","ticketing_rsvp_url":"https:\/\/specialevents.asu.edu\/ereg\/newreg.php?eventid=894063\u0026amp;","ticketing_rsvp_url2":"","website":"asuwaterinstitute@asu.edu ","image_url":"https:\/\/asuevents.asu.edu\/sites\/g\/files\/litvpz3506\/files\/2026-09\/Climate%26WaterFutures_Ivanov-2%20%283%29.png","image_alt":"","image_title":"","start_date":"Nov 4 2026 - 4:00pm","end_date":"Nov 4 2026 - 5:00pm","time_description":"","very_start_date":"2026-11-04T16:00:00Z","very_end_date":"2026-11-04T17:00:00Z","event_types":"Lecture","interests":"Academics|Engineering|Faculty and staff|Students|Sustainability","audiences":"For alumni|For current ASU students|For staff|For faculty","event_units":"Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory - The Water Institute|Rob Walton College of Global Futures|School of Complex Adaptive Systems|Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory|Ira A.
