  Prof Evina Katsou  No more applications being accepted  Funded PhD Project (Students Worldwide)

About the Project

The successful candidate will work with project partners to develop a flood risk model, analyse and model range of potential Natural Flood Management techniques to the catchment areas. For each catchment area you will model potential interventions, evaluate which interventions are likely to deliver the best results and monitor the impacts of the interventions once they’ve been installed. The study will entail evaluation of various potential monitoring arrangements for the purpose of identifying the most viable NFM technique for each situation and will include impact analysis of various NFM methods on the risk of flooding.

Please contact Dr Evina Katsou at [Email Address Removed] for an informal discussion about the studentship.
