Many important decisions about planning for flooding rely on statistical assessments of risk. This one-day workshop enabled communication and discussion between academics and practitioners on the technical, practical, scientific and risk management implications of applying non-stationary statistical models to flood event data
On Thursday 24 January, we delivered an ‘Interactive Geography Day’ for all Year 9 pupils at Ermysteds Grammar School, Skipton. We explored some of the issues around flood and coastal risk management, providing an exciting and innovative way of learning how water behaves in rivers and at the coast.
A new paper by Reid et al., supported by the JBA Trust, explores how a 2D flow model can be useful in understanding the evolution of bars in a high energy gravel-bed river.
Two of our hydraulic river flumes were in action at the Peterborough STEM Festival on 13 October as part of a range of fun hands-on activities to celebrate and experience the wonders of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
Our Trustee Keith Beven FRS is giving the President’s Address at the British Hydrological Society National Symposium on Wednesday 12 September, 2018. Here, Professor Beven discusses recent developments in flood risk management
On 5 September 2018, we hosted a ‘Demonstration Day’ to raise awareness of how physical models and visualisation tools can support outreach and educational activities to communicate flood risk concepts
The iCaptureFlood table allows the views and knowledge of people who know most about a place to be captured digitally and fed into improved models of flood risk almost immediately.
New research shows past greenhouse gas emissions are likely to have increased the chance of the flooding in winter 2013/2014 in many parts of Great Britain.
Blog: Emily writes about her experience of researching natural flood management during her summer internship with JBA Trust.
The wave tank was in action at the ‘Careers in Flood Resilience’ event at St Joseph’s Academy helping to showcase flood risk management in the North East of England and to promote associated career opportunities.
