GeoFlood Studio: Interactive 3D Flood Mapping for Decision-Making and Risk Management
Join us at NYU Tandon's downtown Brooklyn campus for the “GeoFlood Studio: Interactive 3D Flood Mapping for Decision-Making and Risk Management” workshop led by Yuki Miura, Assistant Professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Center for Urban Science + Progress, and members of the Climate, Energy, and Risk Analytics (CERA) Lab directed by Dr. Miura at NYU Tandon.
This workshop will introduce GeoFlood Studio, a web-based application developed by CERA Lab in 2025 that enables users to explore NYC-based flooding scenarios through interactive 3D visualizations and physics-based modeling. Participants will use GeoFlood Studio’s 3D flood map explorer to test storm and sea level rise what-ifs, trace flood pathways and vulnerabilities across streets in NYC, and compare protection options. Dr. Yuki Miura and members of the CERA lab will facilitate focused flood-risk discussions, live demos, hands-on exercises, and a Q&A session on turning visual insights into actionable ideas for planning and preparedness. No coding required. Local residents, NYU students and faculty, community groups, practitioners (including insurance or asset managers), and public agencies are invited to attend!
About the Organizer
Dr. Yuki Miura is an assistant professor at the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering and the Center for Urban Science and Progress at NYU. She is also a faculty advisory board member at the Volatility and Risk Institute at NYU Stern School of Business. She is a member of New York City Panel on Climate Change (NPCC5). Previously, she worked at Morgan Stanley in climate risk management and quantitative strategy.
Her research is at the intersection of engineering, climate science, finance, and social sciences. She develops data-driven strategies to mitigate natural hazards and build resilient cities. By coupling advanced modeling with in-depth understanding of socioeconomic factors, she provides actionable solutions for both public and private institutions. She has collaborated with the National Center of Atmospheric Research and the governments of New York State/City. Her work has been recognized through publications in leading journals and featured in The New Yorker and The New York Times.
