How resilient are Natural Flood Management systems?
Research outputs from a PhD to investigate the resilience of natural flood management (NFM) systems.
PhD
Modelling eel movement to improve fish pass design
A summary of the PhD research carried out by Tom Padgett into how weirs, fish passes and hydro-electric plants can best be configured to avoid disruption to eel and fish migration.
Comparing sediment transport in hydraulic models
As part of Eleanor Pearson’s PhD placement with JBA Trust, she investigated whether the outputs from pre-existing flood risk hydraulic models can be used to evaluate the geomorphological impact of a flood. Results from her work are presented in this poster.
Exploring the origins of watercourses through sedimentary archives
Research outputs from a PhD to estimate flood frequency using documentary and floodplain sedimentary archives to extend flood series.
Modelling to support resilient integrated catchment management
Research outputs from a PhD investigating modelling approaches for catchment flood management.
