The Still Dynamic: A new book of water photographs by Keith Beven
A stunning new collection of water photographs has just been published by Keith Beven, a Distinguished Professor Emeritus at Lancaster University and one of our trustees. ‘The Still Dynamic’ is a collection of Keith’s favourite photographs and raises funds for WaterAid.
JBA Trust Annual Report 2019-20
In a year that tested everyone’s resilience, we were able to continue promoting research, supporting education and sharing knowledge by adapting our approach. We are pleased to share our Trustees Annual Report and the highlights of 2019-20.
UK Flood Hydrology Roadmap
The flood hydrology roadmap is a long-term vision and plan to advance UK flood hydrology. We have supported the roadmap project by helping to shape initiatives from which a delivery plan is now being drafted. A webinar giving an update on the roadmap and outlining the delivery plan for its first 7 years is now available.
New research projects focus on climate risks, flooding and storms
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.
Improving fish pass design with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and behavioural models of eel movement
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.
New JBA Trust weather station
We have installed an automatic weather station at our Broughton Park office, near Skipton in North Yorkshire. Data recorded at this station is freely available for use by schools, universities and communities.
