Yale Climate Connections about intensifying rainfall across the country and the growing risk of catastrophic floods interviews Nicholas Rajkovich, assistant professor of architecture in the UB School of Architecture and Planning, who said some level of uncertainty will always exist because every storm is affected by a multitude of factors, from air flow to topography. “We might not know what the exact rainfall rate is going to be in the future, but we know it’s probably going to be a lot larger and a lot more intense, so if we’re moving systems in a direction to be able to deal with that, it might not be a hundred percent perfect in the future, but it’s well on its way,” he said.
