This research project identifies the steps that heritage managers or owners can take to understand their site’s exposure to climate change-related risks and to determine whether their site is likely to be vulnerable to climate hazards.

It describes the first phase of a project that aims to assess the suitability of methods for estimating probable maximum precipitation (PMP and probable maximum flood (PMF) - and develop new methods to improve the safety of the highest risk reservoirs. Phase 1 reviews options for alternative approaches to estimating PMP and PMF and recommends a way forward for future research developments.

Lateral connectivity between rivers and terrestrial landscapes is essential for their health. Human activities have degraded these connections, leading river management to reconnect rivers with floodplains, riparian zones, and wetlands. This review highlights the bidirectional nature of lateral connectivity and the concept of "lateral connectivity balance." More research is needed to understand and restore these connections.

This paper focusses on how assimilating observed flood extents from remote sensing into Flood Foresight outputs could improve predicted flood extents.

Research led by JBA, with contributions from academic partners, into the potential for open science, open data and open code concepts in operational flood hydrology.

This study builds on existing research into the importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management to provide guidance on designing effective retention schemes. This includes the development of a spreadsheet tool for retention times.
