Flood mitigation schemes in rural communities in the south west of England
There have been several severe flood events in southwest England in recent years, including Boscastle in 2004, Dawlish in 2014 and Coverack in 2014 and July 2017. Read more
Analysis of the effect of Natural Flood Management measures in water levels
Experimental and numerical analysis of the effect of Natural Flood Management measures in water levels and validation for 2D/3D applicability. Read more
Hydraulic Performance of Natural Flood Management Measures
Applications are invited for our EPSRC funded Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) PhD studentships that will support six (6) research projects starting 1 October 2022. Read more
EPSRC DTP studentship in free surface flow-structure interaction of wood pieces placed over a mobile sediment bed for natural flood management
EPSRC funded project 3.5 years full time starting October 2022. Summary. Nature based solutions for natural flood management have gained popularity as a method to provide floodwater retention and ecological benefits associated with naturally occurring instream wood formations. Read more
Water Engineering: Complex Natural River Flow Modelling and Flood Analysis
Research Group:
Water Engineering and Natural Environment
The study on flooding, and identifying suitable ways to mitigate floods, have become a top priority for Government and the Environmental Agency, due to increasing flood frequency and intensity around the UK. Read more
Predicting impact of climatic warming and its remediation on both discharge and aquatic carbon flux from an upland peat catchment
Research Group:
Molecular Environmental Sciences
Climatic warming has more pronounced impacts in upland areas and these areas are important for water collection, flood control and carbon storage. Remediation and adaptation measures have been developed for impacts on each of these but there is a requirement to assess interaction of these measures to maximise their overall benefit. Read more
Regenerating chalk stream environments: Monitoring the effectiveness of the River Anton Restoration Study
Supervisory Team. Paul Kemp and Andrew Vowles. Project description. Climate change and biodiversity loss are two of the greatest global challenges faced by humanity. Read more
Resilience of Advanced Infrastructure Networks to OVERlapping Multiple Events
Infrastructures are defining elements of cities and nations. By their nature infrastructures extend over wide areas providing services in response to the user demands. Read more
Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Climate Change
Research Group:
Communication and Networks
Climate science has progressed tremendously in the last several decades with the advancements in tools for measuring our Earth’s past and present climate and predicting the future. Read more
KESS MbyRes Studentship: Localised beach monitoring with real-time alert notifications
The Wales Coastal Monitoring Centre (WCMC) is tasked with continuously monitoring the coast of Wales to assess erosion and flood risks to the population living near the coast. Read more
Investigating the environmental, population, and planetary health co-benefits of achieving net-zero
Research Group:
Centre for Public Health
Sectoral decarbonisation, climate change, the environment, population health and planetary health are intrinsically linked. Read more
Investigating perceptions of nature-based solutions in urban and peri-urban environments
Throughout the history of nature conservation there has been major conflicts of interest between different stakeholders, for instance, between national governments and local communities. Read more
Development of decision support tools for adaptation of critical coastal industrial infrastructure to rising sea levels
This exciting research project is focused on the UK’s many coastal industrial assets which may come under significant threat in the next 50 to 100 years and beyond due to rising sea levels. Read more
Valuing green and blue urban landscapes
During this prolonged period of neo-liberal development our discourse in the West has become fragmented between a growing concern for climate change/sustainability and a continued need to promote intensive growth and prioritise the needs of capital. Read more
