How good are broad scale models of urban flooding? Implementation of the Urban Environment in 2D Hydrodynamic Models: CitiCat and JFlow+
MSc project poster – a summary of the research carried out by Robert Bertsch for his MSc in Hydroinformatics at Newcastle University.
The Journal of Flood Risk Management Outstanding Paper Award
We sponsor the JFRM Outstanding Paper Award to enable the winning paper to be made freely available on the Journal webpage.
Modelling to support resilient integrated catchment management
Research outputs from a PhD investigating modelling approaches for catchment flood management.
Flood and scour related failure incidents at railway assets
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
Urban flood modelling
Working with Newcastle University, we compared surface water flooding models with crowdsourced evidence of the 2012 ‘Toon Monsoon’.
Tools and guidance for covariate analysis of flood and wave threshold exceedances
This NERC funded project aimed to transfer advances in statistics to flood risk science.
How well do flood defence models match reality?
The JBA Trust worked with MSc student Janie Haven to compare national flood risk assessment models with real flood events.
Multi-objective flood risk management demonstration project
The JBA Trust supported the Holnicote Project with a position paper on rural land management change.
Human influence on climate in the 2014 Southern England winter floods and their impacts
New research published in the journal Nature Climate Change concludes that climate change has made winter flood events in the UK more likely.
