NERC LandwiseNFM

LANDWISE will evaluate the effectiveness of land-based NFM measures to reduce the risk from flooding in lowland catchments. Part of @NERC_NFM programme.

[Gabby Powell @GabbyPowellNFM]

At @The_RRC #RRCConference today with @Stantec. Looking forward to presenting research with @JenningsRyanW from @JBAConsulting on @LandwiseNFM monitoring and modelling of leaky barriers - join us in the Kenilworth suit later!

[JBA Consulting @JBAConsulting]

Join JBA's Ryan Jennings today at the @The_RRC Annual Network Conference. Ryan will be presenting with @GabbyPowellNFM (@Stantec) about a pilot #NFM project to evaluate the efficiency of leaky barriers for #NaturalFloodManagement. As part of the NERC-funded @LandwiseNFM Project.

[Ryan Jennings @JenningsRyanW]

Looking forward to our presentation @GabbyPowellNFM

Read about the fruitful collaboration between @butnorain & @JoClarkUoR for @LandwiseNFM where walking, talking, and listening led to a successful, final presentation of images, #poetry, and #artwork to help in natural flood management

We’ve arrived! 😁

Visit our exhibit (MS10) from tomorrow onwards to find out more about @LandwiseNFM @NERC_NFM with myself, @chrisshortccri and Will Maslanka.

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

Looking forward to @Groundswellaguk, where myself, @chrisshortccri and Will Maslanka will be exhibiting for @LandwiseNFM @NERC_NFM.

Can't wait to catch up with folks - who else is going along? 🌱

[NERC LandwiseNFM @LandwiseNFM]

Thanks to @RealFarmED for hosting our project finale event yesterday. Fitting end with a tour of #NFM on site. If you missed this, the team run tours at other times, see tweet below for info. #Thames

[FarmED @RealFarmED]

We hosted the Landwise Natural Flood Management finale event this week. Over 40 project partners and researchers from organisations including @UniofReading, @CCRI_UK, @EnvAgency, @NaturalEngland & @FWAGAssoc came together to share their findings and to make future plans.

A big thank you to Jonty and the team @RealFarmED yesterday for hosting our @LandwiseNFM event and showing us #agroecology and #nfm in action.

[Action for the River Kennet (ARK) @ARKennet]

@ARKennet attended the @LandwiseNFM finale event this week. Interesting findings from research in our Thames catchments. Eg increasing organic matter in soil from 1-2% to 2-4% increases soil porosity from 41% to 51%. Meaning healthy soils store more water which reduces flooding

Sharing research findings at the @LandwiseNFM finale event with project partners and stakeholders across the West Thames area at @RealFarmED

“How soil management and land use affects soil properties and flood risk”

[Ryan Jennings @JenningsRyanW]

@LandwiseNFM finale! Been a great and challenging #NFM #research project over the last 5 years.
Discussing our findings in person. Evaluating the effectiveness of land based #NFM
Great work team and @JoClarkUoR

Check out some of the initial findings

Beautiful day @RealFarmED in the Cotswolds for the final workshop of @LandwiseNFM. From science to poetry it was a very interesting #knowledgeexchange experience and lovely to see @Prof_JHammond & @JoClarkUoR too! @UniRdg_SAPD @UniRdg_Research

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

Very much enjoyed the post-finale tour of @RealFarmED, great to see some natural flood management practices in action!

[NERC LandwiseNFM @LandwiseNFM]

@missjsknight @cachivers @chrisshortccri @RealFarmED @NERC_NFM @JoClarkUoR @CCRI_UK There’s a paper submitted on farmer knowledge and another on policy being worked on now. Charlotte and Chris can tell you more.

[NERC LandwiseNFM @LandwiseNFM]

@missjsknight @cachivers @chrisshortccri @RealFarmED @NERC_NFM @JoClarkUoR @CCRI_UK We’ll share slides on our website. Publications are listed here: https://t.co/SeA9ESE9Vn we’ve had a few delays over the project, so papers coming out now. Couple more recently accepted, a handful submitted and quite a few to be submitted over next few months.

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

Summary of findings so far:

Mature woodland = highest SOM, porosity, saturate hydraulic con discovery and NFM potential relative to arable and grassland use.

Key = right trees in the right places! 🌲 🌳

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

We’re now hearing from Will Maslanka about his work on radar remote sensing for informing natural flood management @LandwiseNFM

[Dr Charlotte Chivers @cachivers]

Key findings from @LandwiseNFM modelling work now being shown by David Macdonald, impressive stuff!

Several researchers involved in this work including from @BritGeoSurvey @JBAConsulting @UniofReading 💦
