A celebration of the 40th anniversary of the British Hydrological Society brought together people from academia, consultancy and operational hydrology to reflect on the progress in hydrological research and practice, look forward to current and emerging initiatives and celebrate the increasing diversity in hydrology.
New research explores ‘Abrupt Wave Front’ (also known as flash flood) events in northern England where river water levels rise very rapidly and are extremely hazardous to river users.
This summer we supported the ‘Diversity in Science’ exhibition at the London Science Museum with the Environment Agency to raise awareness of the diversity of science and scientists in the environment sector.
