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.

    Open methods in operational hydrology and hydraulics

    • Contribution by:Hankin, B., Faulkner, D., Haseldine, K.
    • Publish date:01.05.2024

    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.

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

    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.

  • Briefing: Scour guidance supporting bridge resilience

    Briefing: Scour guidance supporting bridge resilience

    • Contribution by:Kitchen, A.
    • Publish date:02.06.2023

    This briefing provides a short introduction to a supplement of the Ciria Manual on 'Scour at Bridges and Other Hydraulic Structures' published in 2021. The supplement captures additional knowledge since the scour manual was published in 2015.

  • 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.

  • Investigation of effect of logjam series for varying channel and barrier physical properties using a sparse input data 1D network model

    Investigation of effect of logjam series for varying channel and barrier physical properties using a sparse input data 1D network model

    • Contribution by:Hankin, B.
    • Publish date:01.12.2022

    This report systematically assesses the effect of varying logjam spacing, extent of logjam-generated change in water surface profile, vertical height of lower gap, overflow to local floodplain, and varying channel slope, representing a series of logjams in a sparse input data 1D network model including the jam-generated backwater, which depends on loss of momentum within the jam.
