Read about our work in collaboration with @networkrail on a strategic assessment of bridge scour susceptibility. @mostafa_naiem @amanuel_herrera @AjithParlikad @JenniferCSIC

[DARe Hub @the_DARe_Hub]

A leading cause of #bridge failure is scour. Mitigating bridge scour is crucial for the longevity and #safety of bridges, especially those spanning waterways. In this study the authors introduce a comprehensive framework for scour risk management.

[DARe Hub @the_DARe_Hub]

With 35 #flood warnings in place across the UK today, and flooded roads and cancelled trains up and down the country, it's clear that our #transport systems and #infrastructure need to be resilient to the impacts of #rainfall extremes.
We need #sustainable solutions, fast.

[Manu Sasidharan @LifeAsManu]

@amanuel_herrera Absolutely thrilled for you @amanuel_herrera!

[DARe Hub @the_DARe_Hub]

#Decarbonisation is imperative to limit further impact on the environment and for building a sustainable #transport system. Now Eurostar has a "deliberately ambitious" promise to power its trains 100% by #renewableenergy by 2030...

Excited to announce the @CIHTUK and @the_DARe_Hub call for evidence on #resilience & climate adaptation of #road infrastructure! Whether you're in the UK or abroad, we want to hear your insights to help shape policy and drive transformative change. #Transport #ClimateAction

[CIHT @CIHTUK]

CIHT have launched a call for evidence to support our newly launched project on Resilience and adaptation to extreme weather events within the sector. The project is being supported by the DARe Hub.

Quite an interesting and thoughtful set of strategies by the @UKYoungAcademy for the early career professionals in the UK. Particularly applaud the climate action focus of the road map.

[UK Young Academy @UKYoungAcademy]

🌟Big news! Yesterday, we shared our first Strategic Plan (2023 – 2028) alongside our incredible members. This roadmap charts the course for the #UKYoungAcademy's first five years! The best bit? It's developed by our talented members. It includes our vision, mission, principles, and the strategic priorities that reflect what matters most to us. Head to our website to read our first Strategic Plan: https://t.co/aTP2Xuwp2x

[Manu Sasidharan @LifeAsManu]

Wonderful interactions with stakeholders of @the_DARe_Hub in York while presenting the future #transport storylines leading to 2050. Working back on what should be done NOW:
🔴 enhance infrastructure resilience strategies (robustness + recovery)
🔴 enable whole systems thinking
