Hydrology | flood forecasting & warning | risk communication | extreme events | climate adaptation

Physical Geography Lecture at Oxford University & Hertford College
More skyscapes, this one from a @uniofstandrews.bsky.social workshop on “Forecasting Rare and Severe Events: Behaviour, Verification, and Judgment” - discussing shared challenges with a truly interdisciplinary group & learning about forecasting avalanches with even less data than floods! ❄️⛷️⚠️

I love a winter sunset, especially one featuring @hertfordcollege.bsky.social’s majestic crane

Two exciting opportunities to help shape UK flood hydrology just opened:

1. Join the Scientific and Technical Advisory Group (STAG) for the UK Flood Hydrology Roadmap
2. Contribute to research ideas on the big questions for hydrology in a changing climate

I had a really uplifting day yesterday at the UK River Summit and Festival. An eclectic gatherings of people with a range of interests and motivations, but there is space for more academics (and definitely more hydrologists) in these important conversations

I have recently been gifted this beautiful piece of hydrometry history (it was originally given to my grandad). Some internet sleuthing suggests it’s from ~1940 but I’d love to know if any hydrometry experts know anymore about when current meters like this would have been used?
