Engineering design
The relationships between extreme events and structures are explored by Jose Salinas and Jan Podrouzek. Jose Salinas and co-workers are developing a new framework that combines…
The risk cluster group cuts across traditional research disciplines to explore risk in climatic, hydrological and engineering settings. The diversity of disciplines creates a stimulating…
A puzzling phenomenon for risk researchers is why floods and droughts occur in groups rather than randomly. Elena Szolgayova is analysing this behaviour with new statistical methods and modelling…
Additional research in the Hydrological Open Air Laboratory on small scale process studies of evaporation and runoff complement the other, larger scale research in this cluster. For example,…
Land surface modelling
Airborne laser scanning offers great potential to provide detailed information on the land surface. Michael Vetter has developed a novel approach which analysis the entire…
Soil moisture and scale
To understand more about the potential of remotely sensed soil moisture at varying scales Marcela Doubkova explores spaceborne radar data. Her interest focuses around…
Informing policy
Eleni Yeshaneh is dealing with an issue that is extremely important in many parts of the world – land degradation due to deforestation, agriculture, and other pressures. Her…
Phosphorous dynamics
Phosphorous is applied to agricultural land to optimise crop yields. After application it can reach streams and rivers where it can be detrimental for ecosystem health.…
