Hydrologist @BritGeoSurvey. I develop models to forecast hydro extremes (floods and droughts) that impact people. Water, glaciers, groundwater, climate change.

BGS senior hydrogeologist @hydrojon is on the @ProjGroundwater podcast discussing groundwater flooding & environmental protection through radical innovation with Jed Ramsey from @BucksCouncil.

We'd like a budding #geoscientist to help us develop new groundwater forecasting tools to that will feed into our operational groundwater flooding early warning services. You'll get a PhD at the end of it too! Apply here: https://t.co/twUmKaWwsI @BritGeoSurvey @SCENARIO_DTP

New dataset alert! Check out our new 2km gridded daily projections of potential groundwater recharge from 1981 to 2080. Based on UKCP18 data, this dataset can inform decision-making and climate change research in the UK. Access for free https://t.co/nlAaL8SdKo . #groundwater

I've written a blog post about why I'm on #strike today. It shows how the public sector pays £32k for a "software developer" where the private sector pays £35-70k. We struggle to recruit and retain staff and services are suffering.

PhD opportunity for Env. scientists interested in hydrogeology/coding/modelling: How can we use global #groundwater datasets to develop better computer models for forecasting groundwater extremes? Work with @apbutler and @chrojackson to find out! @BritGeoSurvey @ImperialCiveng

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

A collaboration between @imperialcollege, @unibirmingham & BGS sets out how the world’s mountains play a fundamental role in providing fresh water to millions but as temperatures rise supply from these systems is likely become more variable.

@thephdrunner @BritGeoSurvey @UK_CEH Hi Emma, I'll DM you the email address of the organiser now who can add you

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

Working in partnership with @UK_CEH we've improved projections for for rainfall, river flows & groundwater levels in the UK til 2080. This will enable stakeholders to better prepare for impacts of future climate change & water availability.

[Jamie Hannaford @jamiehannahorse]

The eFLaG projections are launched!! Great to see these projections available following lots of hard work these last two years. Collab across @UK_CEH, @BGSGroundwater, @hrwallingford - thanks to this superb team (see author list below: paper available in @ESSD_journal)

Are you interested in nature-based solutions to water-related risks in mountain regions? Come and discuss with us at our focus session at the International Mountain Conference 2022. Abstract submissions open now! https://t.co/4DdfkaQM9L

[Jon Mackay @hydrojon]

Great to lead this piece of work for @BritGeoSurvey and continue our collaborative efforts in groundwater forecasting with @metoffice and @EnvAgency https://t.co/EUw4h0lkrd

[British Geological Survey @BritGeoSurvey]

Groundwater flooding represents a significant part of the overall flood risk in the UK. Working with @EnvAgency and @metoffice we're delivering a national-scale early warning system for groundwater flooding.
