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
- 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.

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
- 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
- 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
- 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.
