Transformative Research Methodology Reveals Escalating Infrastructure Vulnerabilities

The escalating number of U.S. dams at risk of overtopping represents a critical threat to structural integrity and downstream communities, according to pioneering research from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering. This comprehensive study, published in Nature Communications, analyzed five decades of water level data across 33 strategically selected dam sites to quantify how overtopping probability has evolved since 1973.
