Research

A report on cross-programme research to bring together findings using common metrics by teams at Lancaster University, University of Manchester, University of Reading and JBA Consulting working on the effectiveness of Natural Flood Management (i.e., Nature-based Solutions for reducing flood peaks) within the United Kingdom.

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.

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.

This research provides an understanding of the response of gravel barrier beaches to unimodal and bimodal storms through morphodynamic modelling.

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.

A proof-of-concept study that enables practitioners to derive climate change allowances for the full distribution of floods (as opposed to single return periods).
