About the project or challenge area

Flooding is the most widely distributed of all natural hazards with floods from rivers, estuaries and the sea threatening many millions of people worldwide. The UK is at the forefront for modelling flood hazards from local to global scale; however, resilience is currently not integrated in such models. This project looks into exploring how to embed resilience in flood impact models, like LISFLOOD-FP, and evaluating resilience-based scenarios; it aims to pioneer a new generation of flood impact models.

Why choose this opportunity?

You will have the opportunity to engage with and build networks across the Faculty of Engineering and the School of Geographical Sciences, developing an interdisciplinary mindset and translational skills.

About you

You are an enthusiastic student interested in hydrology and engineering, with prior experience (or at least have the potential to develop these) in programming, risk analysis and GIS.
