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.
The environmental community team up with mathematicians to tackle the challenge of ‘identifying coherent weather features in three dimensions’ and publish a Challenge Solutions Report.
Research outputs from a PhD investigating modelling approaches for catchment flood management.
We have published a consolidated chronology of railway asset failures relating to flooding for the period 1846 to 2013. The most common failure mechanism was found to be the undermining of abutments or piers by scour, resulting in their collapse.
We supported the development of a new tool to identify and assess the potential multiple benefits of SuDS schemes.
This NERC funded project aimed to transfer advances in statistics to flood risk science.
The JBA Trust supported the Holnicote Project with a position paper on rural land management change.
In partnership with The University of Gloucester, we delivered four workshops on different aspects of river restoration
We are collaborating with the Infrastructure Transitions Research Consortium (ITRC) team at Oxford University to research and analyse railway bridge failures.
