Our group investigates flooding and surface processes likely to be exacerbated by climate change. Within the UK, flooding, landslides, debris flow and mudflows pose a particular risk that is likely to be exacerbated by climate change if the frequency and magnitude of extreme precipitation events increase. On an annual basis, we see critical infrastructure including railway lines and roads taken out by such extremes. Our work in this area strongly overlaps with the Land Surface Dynamics research group both in terms of personal, joint projects, end-user audiences and research outputs. For example, in our 'Sounding out the river' project, remote geophysical methods are considered to monitor the mobilisation of transport of bedload during flood events in mountain rivers.
