We use field measurements, experiments, mathematical techniques and numerical methods to study the movement of water through and over the earth’s surface from catchment to Kolmogorov scales.
Expertise
- Catchment and flood modelling and management
- Ecohydrodynamics
- Soil erosion
- Contaminant transport
- Shallow water numerical methods
- Nonlinear analysis and signal processing
- Turbulence physics
Recent Research Highlights
- £210k research funding from NERC for a project entitled "COMPACT: The role of soil management in Catchment Flood Risk”. This will use novel field approaches such as GPR and CT scanning to quantify local soil characteristics and then upscale using a hydrological model to assess potential for Natural Flood Management.
- In 2017, our work with colleagues at Southampton and Melbourne on the structure of turbulent boundary layers won the .
Education and Training
- MSc in Hydrodynamics and Data Analysis for Water Engineering (proposed to start 2020)
