This page hosts a database listing flash flood events in the UK derived from historical reports dating back over more than 200 years.
This tool provides a quick and accessible analysis that can support modelling of leaky barriers across different levels of detail, from simple site assessment through to intermediate or detailed models
This network model highlights the need for robust design of nature-based flood risk measures and allows rapid assessment of the whole-system performance of leaky barriers in real stream networks.
This paper explores how flood risk management can utilise the exponential increase in ‘big’data’ generated by a range of sources including satellites, mobile phones, ground-based sensors and citizen science. It proposes approaches to collate, integrate and query data from unstructured and disparate data sources.
In this podcast, Professor Rob Lamb explores how digital technologies can support flood risk management
Analysis of local authority areas where different types of tree planting (floodplain, riparian, wider catchment) could help reduce flood risk
This report aims to help identify the data and modelling needs, and the robustness of evidence, for developing Natural Flood Management strategies in the Skell catchment to reduce flood and sediment risks.
Professor Rob Lamb, Director of JBA Trust, provides an update on our collaborative research with the Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) team at Oxford University.
The JBA Trust supported the Holnicote Project with a position paper on rural land management change.
This NERC funded project aimed to transfer advances in statistics to flood risk science.
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
MSc project poster – a summary of the research carried out by Janie Haven for her MSc in Water and Environmental Management at the University of Bristol.
A poster, presentation and workshop resources from the research carried out by Ross Towe.
Flood risk and resilience have been under review in recent years, following severe flooding in 2013/14 and 2015/16, previous flood events and concerns over changes in physical and economic climates. This talk examines some important governmental and technical reviews, discussing scientific themes that run through them: The National Flood Resilience Review (September 2016) House of […]
The Government’s 2016 National Flood Resilience Review[1] (NFFR) found that “while the probability of an extreme river flow that could result in a severe flood at any given location is very small, such flows are not unusual when considering the whole country”. This statement was one of the conclusions of the Scientific Advisory Group (SAG) [...]
The environmental community team up with mathematicians to tackle the challenge of understanding the risks associated with nature-based flood risk management measures deployed on river networks.
New paper reports a probabilistic analysis of the risk to the British railway network from scour at bridges.
An international expert elicitation workshop provides new insights into the vulnerability of UK bridges to scour
The JBA Trust worked with MSc student Janie Haven to compare national flood risk assessment models with real flood events.
