Dr. Alves work focuses on stormwater mitigation with a combination of spatial analysis and community-based participatory research. Her previous work also included developing risk-based spatial-participatory frameworks for flood risk adaptation and mitigation. She developed multiple methodologies for the integrated management of water resources (i.e., NEEDS for ACTION tool) to minimize hazards' impacts and propose sustainable and green solutions in underserved regions. Priscila also has experience developing place-based citizen science projects for the collaboration of stakeholders to analyze social, structural and institutional vulnerabilities, including environmental justice, of communities facing cascading disasters, especially flooding and drought, with case studies in the United States, Brazil, United Kingdom and Thailand.
