UKCEH staff will be attending next week’s (2-4 September) British Hydrological Society National Symposium, presenting on and talking about a range of subjects. Here’s what’s coming up and the lead presenter:
Session 1 Hydrometry, sensors & the Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure (FDRI):
- Matt Fry: Enhancing Access to UK Hydrological Data: The FDRI Digital Platform
- Nick Everard: Measuring floodplain flows with consumer electronics and constellations of satellites!
- Adam Griffin: Quantifying and communicating hydrometric uncertainty
FDRI partner presentations in session 1:
- Kieran Khamis, University of Birmingham: Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure: nationally representative observatories to better understand and manage risk from hydrological extremes
- Luke Tumelty, Imperial College: (FDRI) Enabling Participatory Hydrology through Innovation and Capacity Building
Session 4: International & global hydrology
- Jamie Hannaford: From source to sea, to the IPCC: the incredible journey of UK rivers in helping to understand global hydrological variability
Session 5: Machine learning & AI in hydrology
- Srinidhi Jha: Towards an Improved Drought Status System in England: Integrating Human Expertise and Machine Learning
Session 6: Flood estimation & frequency methods
- Gianni Vesuviano: Using a peak-over-threshold model to improve FEH statistical flood frequency estimation
- Adam Griffin: Adding modelled data to observed data in flood frequency estimation
Session 7: Rainfall-runoff modelling & model benchmarking
- Rosanna Lane: The UK Hydro-MIP: A community model intercomparison project for streamflow simulation across GB
Session 9 Climate change & hydrological extremes — floods
- Alison Kay: Combining a national-scale grid-based hydrological model with an initial-condition climate ensemble and downscaled events for flood modelling
- Rachael Armitage: ‘Weather whiplash’ past, present and future: Understanding the UK’s hydrological transitions
Session 12 Early Career Hydrologist showcase: data-driven methods & tools for the next generation
- Felipe Fileni: UK-Flow15v2: Next steps in developing sub-hourly river flow observations for the UK
- Eugene Magee: A collaborative approach towards the shared science of intermittent chalk streams
- Emma Ford: What do machine learning models learn about floods?
We are also involved in the following presentations being led by other organisations:
- Propagation and Attribution of Climate-Driven Uncertainty in Fluvial Flood Inundation Using Reduced-Order Surrogates
- 1976 drought storylines for water resources planning
- Hydrological model benchmarking- Results of the UKCP18 Intercomparison project
Posters
UKCEH led posters include:
- Trends in High and Low Flows Across the UK: Evidence from Long-Term Streamflow Reconstructions
- River flow changes from a large initial condition climate ensemble for the UK
- The 1976 Drought Revisited: 50 years on, does it remain the benchmark?
- National River Flow Archive: The UK’s Focal Point for Hydrometric Data.
- Beyond UKCP18: River flow changes from a large initial-condition climate ensemble for the UK
FDRI UKCEH and partner posters include:
- The Upper Severn sub-catchment of the floods and droughts observatory: science priorities and monitoring network design
- The Upper Tweed sub-catchment of the Floods and Droughts Observatory: science priorities and monitoring network design
- The Chess sub-catchment of the Floods and Droughts Observatory: science priorities and monitoring network design
- Improving the Direct Measurement of Flood Flows
