Dr. Lam published an article titled “Americans who live far from coasts should also be worried about flooding” in The Conservation on August 28, 2017, right after Hurricane Harvey flooded Huston. The article, which is based on an academic article authored with postdoctoral research associate Dr. Yi Qiang and graduate students, generated media coverage such as by: The Washington Post: “Moving away from the coasts doesn’t mean you’re safe from flooding”, PBS: “Why moving inland might not keep you safe from floods”, National Science Foundation: “Study reveals America’s most flood-vulnerable communities”, Radio Talk Show in New York: “Climate change: Are we adapting?”.
