A flood hydrology roadmap released in March 2022 sets out a vision to help scientists and practitioners better predict future flood events and improve flood resilience across the UK.
JBA Trust helped in shaping and peer reviewing the roadmap
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.
New data added to our online catalogue shows areas where different types of potential river and catchment management approaches could help to reduce flood risk by working with nature
A team of scientists and academics from Lancaster University, JBA Trust and the Environment Agency attended the Manchester Science Festival on 21 October 2017 to raise awareness of the devastating risks and impacts posed by flooding.
PhD researcher Peter Metcalfe, based at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre (LEC), has been working on new methods to predict the impacts of “natural” measures to mitigate flood risk.
Interim research outputs including a poster, presentation and workshop resources are now available.
New research published in the journal Nature Climate Change concludes that climate change has made winter flood events in the UK more likely.
As part of our support for the Flooding From Intense Rainfall research programme, we have been working on identifying exceptional “rapid-rise” events, a type of flash flooding, in gauged river flow records throughout Great Britain.
New interactive map catalogues UK schemes that use natural processes in flood management and highlights the need to evaluate the effectiveness of these projects.
Work experience in the water and environmental sector
Blog: Kieran Murnane recently joined the JBA Trust for a week to find out more about working in the water and environment sector. He talks about his experience of physical models of rivers and coasts, visiting research catchments and using flood modelling software.
