Shaping resilience through collaborative research

Working collaboratively with colleagues, fellow industry academics, universities and non-profit organisations, we’re highlighting significant research papers, reports and technical guidance documents that are helping to shape the way we build resilience to climate change.

  • Assimilation of satellite flood likelihood data improves inundation mapping from a simulation library system

    Assimilation of satellite flood likelihood data improves inundation mapping from a simulation library system

    • Contribution by:Shelton, K.L., Bevington, J.
    • Publish date:25.07.2024

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

  • The importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management interventions

    The importance of retention times in Natural Flood Management interventions

    • Contribution by:Hankin, B.
    • Publish date:18.04.2024

    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.

    Gauged and historical abrupt wave front floods (‘walls of water’) in Pennine rivers, northern England

    • Contribution by:Archer, D., Watkiss, S., Warren, S., Lamb, R.
    • Publish date:10.04.2024

    The latest in a series of papers by David Archer and colleagues at JBA and Newcastle University, this paper explores a type of flood that can pose a danger to life and improvements that could be made to monitoring, flood estimation and forecasting.

  • Towards safer, more sustainable debris and security screens

    Towards safer, more sustainable debris and security screens

    • Contribution by:Benn, J., Kitchen, A.
    • Publish date:30.05.2023

    This paper presents findings from early experience of using the CIRIA Culvert, screen and outfall manual on an Environment Agency programme to assess the continuing need for 92 screens in England.

  • Flood risk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A consideration of flood defences in a broadscale hydraulic model

    Flood risk in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia: A consideration of flood defences in a broadscale hydraulic model

    • Contribution by:Massam, A., Smith, H., Filipova, V., Waller, S.
    • Publish date:30.03.2023

    This research presents the development of flood maps for Kuala Lumpur, covering pluvial and fluvial flooding. The fluvial maps have two scenarios: one undefended and the other that accounts for the infrastructure investments already made to mitigate flood risk.

  • Surface water - Future risk and investment needs

    Surface water - Future risk and investment needs

    • Contribution by:Eccleston, P.
    • Publish date:24.11.2022

    This analysis explores the relationship between investment and surface water flood risk through to 2100, with a focus on the residual risks that may exist by the 2050s and the investment need for the period from present day to 2050.

  • Spatial scale evaluation of forecast flood inundation maps

    Spatial scale evaluation of forecast flood inundation maps

    • Contribution by:Shelton, K.L., Bevington, J.
    • Publish date:14.07.2022

    This paper focusses on the development of a metric to quantify how well the generated flood maps for events compare to observed flooding from remote sensing.

  • Review of groundwater flood risk management in England

    Review of groundwater flood risk management in England

    • Contribution by:Wagstaff, S., McFadden, B., Ngai, R., Chorlton, K., Zaidman, M., Faulkner, D.
    • Publish date:01.06.2021

    JBA led this rapid evidence review, funded by the Environment Agency, to support the National Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management Strategy for England (2020) for England.
