Our support for PhD research projects continues to grow as we welcome three new students to our programme. All of the projects will use modelling techniques and new sources of data to help improve our understanding and mitigation of environmental risks.
We have published David Archer’s chronology of flash flood events in Britain online.
Zora van Leeuwen presented her poster “A Method for Assessing the Resilience of Leaky Dam Networks” online at the 21st River Restoration Centre conference.
We are pleased to see a recent report about how we supported a mathematical challenge at an environmental modelling study day organised by the “Maths Foresees” network.
The British Hydrological Society, JBA Trust and the Environment Agency are delighted to announce that the MSc Studentship Award Scheme is now open for applications, for courses starting in Autumn 2020.
Kiera Waters recently joined JBA Trust for a 3 month work placement as part of her BSc Geography and Environmental Mathematics course at the University of Leeds.
As part of British Science Week, we’ve been supporting events that raise awareness of Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM).
Colleagues from JBA Consulting demonstrated the JBA Trust mini flume at Tadcaster Grammar School careers fair on Wednesday 10th March.
Tom Padgett recently published results from his PhD research in the Royal Society Open Science Journal. Tom used the flexibility of computational modelling to test different eel tiles under several different conditions and eel life stages. Overall, passage efficiency decreases with increasing flow and steeper installation angles; it increases as elvers get larger, and older.
We were pleased to provide Augmented Reality Sandbox training for staff and volunteers at WWT Slimbridge on Thursday 13th February.
