Episode 158 (5 Oct 2021): Kathryn Roscoe is a senior researcher at Deltares, working on adaptive flood risk and resilience planning, and developing tools and approaches to support decision-makers. She grew up in Miami and followed her love of Steinbeck to the central valley of California to study Physics at CS Chico and Hydrology at UC Davis before selling all her stuff and moving to the Netherlands. She got her PhD in Hydraulic Engineering from the Delft University of Technology, where she worked on algorithms behind the Dutch probabilistic flood defense assessments. At Deltares she focuses on flood resilience planning under uncertain future conditions. As the U.S. and Canada coordinator, she connects Deltares to researchers and government agencies that want to collaborate on topics such as operational water management, coastal modeling, and climate adaptation and resilience.
