Flood Susceptibility Map Over Europe benefiting from the latest high-resolution satellite observations

Description

General Description

This dataset provides high-resolution flood susceptibility maps (FSM) over Europe, delivered in Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (COG) format.

The maps represent a probabilistic assessment of flood susceptibility by integrating dynamic variables: soil moisture, precipitation and AlphaEarth foundation model embeddings (64 features). The dataset supports disaster risk assessment, flood hazard mapping, and spatial planning, enabling consistent and comparable analysis across the Europe.

Data Details

  • Coordinate Reference System: EPSG:4326
  • Geographical coverage: Europe
  • File format: Cloud Optimized GeoTIFF (.tif)
  • Data type: Flood Susceptibility Index (probabilistic)
  • Temporal coverage: Representative of climatological conditions (annual model output)
