Lead Research Organisation: University of Birmingham
Department Name: Sch of Geography, Earth & Env Sciences

Abstract

Floods are one of the most damaging natural hazards in the UK, affecting lives and properties of people. However, there remains an insufficient understanding regarding the relative and combined effects of various factors, such as climate change, increased precipitation, and urbanization, across different catchments. The project will aim to quantify the relative impacts of different drivers on floods across a large sample of uk catchments. Additionally, the project also access to access future flood risk taking into account both climate change and land cover change. reliable data and statistical model will be utilized, providing scientific insight for sustainable development and effective flow management strategies.
