Preparing for bigger floods: Advancing modelling and risk assessment for extreme flood events
Description of the project. The world has seen devastating flood events in the last two years, for example, in Central Europe in 2021 and in Pakistan in 2022. Read more
Smart water: engendering climate-sensitive low-land flood-resilience through novel nature-based abstraction
Climate change exacerbates the occurrence and negative effects of extreme weather events, increasing the risk of both groundwater and surface water flooding including in low-lying areas commonly used for high-value agriculture. Read more
Research on local scour mechanism of bridge piers under extreme flood peaks
The structural safety of bridges under extreme flood peaks is a significant engineering issue that urgently needs to be solved. This project aims to increase the accuracy of the current numerical methods to simulate the local scour phenomenon of bridge piers under flood peaks. 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
The Concrete Jungle: what impact is creeping urbanisation having on flood risk and sewer overflows?
Britain’s rivers are increasingly being polluted by overflows of combined sewers, with surface water during heavy rainfall overwhelming the sewer infrastructure. Read more
Computational modelling and risk assessment of heavy rainfall impacts on transport infrastructure
Description of the project. This highly exciting project help to address one of the most challenging engineering problems – adapting to climate change, and help the student to learning highly sought-after skills and knowledge for a wide range of career paths. Read more
Development of water retention technology for flash floods in arid regions
Supervisory Team. Gerald Muller. Project description. Water shortage is a serious and increasing problem in many countries. Read more
Multiple river response to restoration and climate change
The UK’s climate is becoming wetter, with rain from extremely wet days increasing by 17%, comparing the period 2008-2017 to 1961-1990. Read more
