Anna Serra-Llobet

Anna Serra-Llobet is a Lecturer in the Department of Landscape Architecture & Environmental Planning at the University of California, Berkeley. Her work focuses on flood risk management, environmental planning, and the implementation of nature-based solutions. She examines policy frameworks in France and the US, emphasizing equity, climate adaptation, and interdisciplinary approaches to disaster resilience.

Her research explores post-wildfire flood dynamics, residual risk in flood-prone areas, and urban river restoration. Notable case studies include the 2018 Montecito debris flows and flood inequities in Jackson, Mississippi. She critiques terminology gaps in climate policy and advocates for integrated funding strategies for multibenefit projects.

Key themes in her work include institutional barriers to nature-based solutions, transnational policy comparisons, and historical approaches to hazard planning. Her articles analyze governance systems, sediment management, and the socio-ecological dimensions of urban water systems, particularly in Global South contexts.

Anna holds a PhD in Environmental Science and has conducted fieldwork across North America, Europe, and South America. Her research bridges academic analysis with practical policy recommendations, emphasizing equity and sustainability in flood management strategies.
