Supporting the next generation of hydrologists
This poster explores the impact of the Studentship Awards which support talented students to undertake a hydrology related masters course.
Rivers and Coasts
British Chronology of Flash Floods
This page hosts a database listing flash flood events in the UK derived from historical reports dating back over more than 200 years.
Characteristics of ‘abrupt wave front’ floods
New research explores events in northern England where river water levels rise very rapidly and are extremely hazardous to river users.
UK Flood Hydrology Roadmap
The flood hydrology roadmap sets out a vision to help scientists and practitioners across the UK better predict future flood events and improve flood resilience across the UK.
Leaky barrier retention times for Natural Flood Management interventions
This tool provides a quick and accessible analysis that can support modelling of leaky barriers across different levels of detail, from simple site assessment through to intermediate or detailed models
Improving forecast flood maps using earth observation data
In this article, we explore the importance of earth observation (EO) data for identifying flood extents and how a new method for validating flood maps enables a quantitative, location specific measure of flood map accuracy
Podcast: Rethinking flood risk data
In this podcast, Professor Rob Lamb explores how digital technologies can support flood risk management
Using a natural capital approach to assess the impact of rewilding on the provision of ecosystem services
MSc project poster – Luke Hussey assessed the impact of rewilding the Broughton Hall Estate using a natural capital approach.
Estimating the parameters of ocean wave spectra
Understanding the characteristics of wind-generated waves is important for modelling structural responses in ocean engineering. This paper explores statistical techniques to improve the understanding of estimated parameters of wind-generated waves and help oceanographers gain insights into their behaviour.
A semantic approach to enable data integration for the domain of flood risk management
This paper explores how flood risk management can utilise the exponential increase in ‘big’data’ generated by a range of sources including satellites, mobile phones, ground-based sensors and citizen science. It proposes approaches to collate, integrate and query data from unstructured and disparate data sources.
