Climate and Nature Action in Education
We supported the Climate Ambassadors ‘Climate and Nature Action in Education’ event at the Great North Museum in Newcastle and demonstrated how models like our wave tank can be used in different education settings to explore the impacts of climate change
Nurturing talent with Lancaster University
Lancaster University’s ‘Nurturing Talent’ programme supports students to get hands-on with the wave tank challenge game, creating new designs for coastal flood resilience and exploring the impact of climate change on coastal communities.
New Water Safety Centre for Excellence opens at Twickenham Fire Station
The new centre aims to educate and encourage safe engagement with the River Thames, and is part of the London Fire Bridge’s push on water safety. Our big river flume is being used to show how water behaves in the Thames and how currents can quickly become dangerous.
Industrial Cadets explore river engineering and ecology
Industrial Cadets from Yorkshire schools learn how engineered structures, like weirs and culverts, affect the flow and ecology of rivers.
New toolkit published for coastal change monitoring using satellite observations
A new toolkit and journal paper are published in ‘Earth Surface Processes and Landforms’ to help predict coastal change
Student bursaries to support MSc and MRes courses
In partnership with the British Hydrological Society, we’re supporting the Studentship Awards Scheme which aims to encourage talented students to develop their academic experience and qualifications in hydrology and water management.
