How does urban debris impact flood hazard? 🌊🏚 In our latest HS Division blog post, @Mario_J_Franca , @dValero_ , @ArnauBayon , @neoedui , and @BeniaminoRusso3 tackle the example of the recent severe floods in #Valencia. 👇#hydrology #valenciafloods https://t.co/qS67Uw64iv

Means a significant buoyancy effect & associated decrease in the load-carrying capacity of the arch bridge!

Maybe every maths classroom should have a box of mathematical toys & at the start of each lesson a toy's picked out & played with & discussed for five minutes before everyone returns to fractions & trigonometry.

Might also work for company meeting rooms.

Meanwhile, Sam Howison.

We have a new #PhD opportunity at @CREWW_uk for Chinese 🇨🇳 applicants in #hydrology💧 the CSC scheme is out to work on:
•Impact of large wood on water quality 🧪
•Large wood at bridges and risk of flooding and scour 🪵
•Beaver dams and hydrological resilience 🦫

The professor and the pendulums.

We know what will happen when one pendulum swings. But two?

🌊 BREACHING! 🌊

Nature's immense power at work!
The #Chilcotin dam started to breach ~15 hours ago!
Projected peak flows in Chilcotin River of 8000 m3/s. For reference, normal for this time of year is ~150 m3/s.
