Physical complexity to model morphological changes at a natural channel bend
New research shows that a 2D, depth-averaged model can reconstruct hydrodynamic and morphological features at a channel bend
Research
Review of the responses to flooding in Cumbria following Storm Desmond, December 2015
Working in partnership with the Zurich Insurance Group we have released a report detailing first hand experiences of flooding in Cumbria following Storm Desmond in December 2015.
Urban flood modelling
Working with Newcastle University, we compared surface water flooding models with crowdsourced evidence of the 2012 ‘Toon Monsoon’.
Assessing the multiple benefits of SuDS
We supported the development of a new tool to identify and assess the potential multiple benefits of SuDS schemes.
Susceptibility of catchments to INTense RAinfall and flooding (SINATRA)
As part of the SINATRA project, we have worked to identify exceptional “rapid-rise” events, a type of flash flooding, in gauged river flow records in the UK.
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.
Modelling to support resilient integrated catchment management
JBA Trust is supporting PhD student Peter Metcalfe to investigate intermediate complexity modelling approaches for catchment management.
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.
Improving statistical models of large scale flood events
The JBA Trust is working with Lancaster University to develop improved models for extremes of localised and widespread flooding.
