Rewilding in the English landscape: an appraisal of the benefits
MSc project poster – Anthony Royffe appraised the benefits of rewilding as a landscape-scale land management approach for upland and lowland areas of England.
Achieving carbon neutral communities
MSc project poster – Emma Brook investigated the feasibility of community scale renewable energy for the Malhamdale community in North Yorkshire.
Delivering sustainable FCERM construction: Plastic wastes
MSc project poster – Alice Dear investigated where the construction industry (particularly flood risk management) can reduce single-use plastic (SUP) consumption and improve waste management sustainability
How resilient are Natural Flood Management systems?
Research outputs from a PhD to investigate the resilience of natural flood management (NFM) systems.
Resilience of leaky barriers in Natural Flood Management at the RRC conference
Zora van Leeuwen presented her poster “A Method for Assessing the Resilience of Leaky Dam Networks” online at the 21st River Restoration Centre conference.
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.
Flood Inundation Mapping with Data Assimilation
MSc project poster – Zhiqi Hu investigated if observations of floods from satellite images can help us improve the accuracy of forecast flood maps.
Risk based analysis of small scale, distributed, nature-based flood risk management measures deployed on river networks
The environmental community team up with mathematicians to tackle the challenge of understanding the risks associated with nature-based flood risk management measures deployed on river networks.
