Towards the next generation probabilistic flood forecasting system for the UK
Project Highlights. · Developing key methodology for new generation of national flood forecasting in the UK. Read more
Ecological and Environmental Impacts of Extreme Compound Floods: Past, Present and Future Coastal Hazard
The main objective of this PhD is to identify the combination of physical conditions that cause degradation of estuarine ecosystem services during extreme flooding events. 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
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
Disentangling land use and climatic roles in sediment delivery to upland British lakes
Changes to agricultural land use practices and climate represent serious challenges to the future management of rural landscapes, as humans have dramatically altered the European landscape over thousands of years. Read more
Deep Learning and Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Flood Prediction (FAC23/EE/CIS/WOO)
Flood prediction models are crucial for managing extreme events and assessing hazards. However, current models often make simplified assumptions and rely on specific datasets. Read more
IoT techniques for disaster prediction and mitigation
IoT techniques can be applied in many fields, including disaster prediction and mitigation by early warning systems. Due to the climate changes, torrential rain and unseasonable high temperature become more common and these could be a trigger of hazards, such as flooding and landslides. Read more
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

Behavioural Responses of Tadpoles to Multiple Stressors using a Field-based Approach.
Project description. Biodiversity loss is occurring at an alarming rate and associations between declines and multiple interacting stressors have been demonstrated from a wide range of taxa. Read more
Climate change impacts (and variability) on livelihoods and key sectors of the economy / economic models
Several International reports (E.g. IPCC) identify climate change as one of the defining global challenges during recent times. Read more
Regulation of water and nutrient cycles with Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in a changing environment
Reference number. SCEBE-20-002-AGOSF. Aim & Scope. Climate change and population growth are threatening the quality and resilience of the Earth’s ecosystems. Read more
Developing Filtration Technologies: Optimising Flue Gas Filtration Assets in the UK Energy from Waste Sector
About Durham Filtration. Durham Filtration Ltd. has the strategic intent to become a renowned technical authority in the field of flue-gas filtration for large-scale industrial combustion plants, particularly in the Energy-from-Waste and Biomass Energy markets of the UK and Europe. Read more
Ecohydrology and Ecosystem Function on the Fletcherview Savanna Rangeland and Cattle Station
Almost all terrestrial life lives within the Earth’s thin ‘skin’, a 100-200m high zone, stretching from bedrock, through aquifers, soil and the biosphere to the top of plant canopies in the atmosphere. Read more
Energy-SuDS: The potential of urban Green Infrastructure for decarbonising heating and cooling.
There is no more important challenge in engineering than that presented by climate change. Read more
Modelling urban development to satisfy the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
The UK requires significant new housing and related physical and social infrastructure to accommodate population growth and changing household composition. Read more
