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
Research outputs from a PhD to investigate the resilience of natural flood management (NFM) systems.
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.
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.
Research outputs from a PhD to estimate flood frequency using documentary and floodplain sedimentary archives to extend flood series.
Research outputs from a PhD investigating modelling approaches for catchment flood management.
