As sea levels rise are we ready to live behind giant walls?
🌊
We know the climate is changing
🌊
We will need a combination of more concrete clever natural solutions & better flood forecasts to prepare for what’s ahead

Stuck at home looking for something useful to do?

We’re looking for volunteers to help us recover 4 million rainfall observations dating back to the 1820s! #rainfallrescue

"Most types of flooding are likely to get worse."

Flooding and climate change expert Professor Hannah Cloke says "it's a tiny fraction of 1% of the problems we're storing up for ourselves unless we take some serious action" on climate change. #ClimateDebate

Housebuilding ban on floodplains isn't enough – flood-prone communities should take back control

Our Flash Flood! research paper by @FloodSkinner has been published in @EGU_GC - go check it out!

How video games, virtual reality, and science festivals can all come together to engage people with flood risk and geomorphology.

“trying to prevent flooding is only half the battle. Critically, we also need to make our communities more resilient to flooding so that when it does happen it does less damage & we can get back to normal quicker” @JamesBevanEA ⤵️

[Hannah Cloke @hancloke]

This is a great opportunity for the government to commit to a more flood and climate resilient future
