Not a bad spot to spend the next few years! #phdweek1

Nice to get away from the admin for the afternoon and have a go at gauging the Thames with the #ARCboat! More practice needed I think...but happy to report no damage to the boat nor the ducks! @CEHScienceNews

Here’s a graphic reminder of what floodplains are for and why its a good idea not to mess with them. River Teifi near Newcastle Emlyn on Wednesday and this afternoon. Pics by Glyn

An aptly wet day for having a look round some of the #NFM interventions in the Littlestock Brook catchment. The critical questions: 1. What is the impact on downstream peak flows? 2. What can we learn from this scheme to inform future flood risk management?

Great to be back in Dundee for 24 hours and to finally be able to visit V&A Dundee after watching its development over the past 4 years. Looking forward to my next visit to this special city!

Had a lot of fun last week at the NERC NFM training course in the Lake District. Lots to think about re monitoring and modelling techniques for Natural Flood Management. Thanks to NERC_QNFM and JBA Consulting for an excellent week!

Excited to have come across FreeStation (freestation.org): instructions for building hydro + meteorological sensors using open source hardware + software at a fraction of the cost of commercially available sensors. Great potential for monitoring and education! #Hydrometry

Great to see such interest in the #EvenlodeNFM scheme. Thanks #EAHydrometry for sharing your expertise!

Modifying natural #HydrologicalProcesses in attempt to mitigate drought effects in India - many parallels to #NaturalFloodManagement: without proper understanding of relevant processes at local scale + participatory approach, project is doomed to fail bbc.co.uk/news/world-asi…

Super impressed by this open-air exhibition on Water and Civilisation in Prague!

Very interesting day learning more about dilution gauging and dealing with uncertainty in hydrometric data. Looking forward to putting into practice at Littlestock Brook #NFM trial! #dilutionNRW

Beautiful day for downloading loggers + flow gauging at the Littlestock Brook #NaturalFloodManagement scheme. Catchment very dry again already after 130mm of rain fell in June!

Trialling salt dilution gauging on the Littlestock Brook - a good alternative to current meter gauging especially at low flows. Measured Q = 5.25 L/s, current meter gauging = 4.47 L/s. Next up, image velocimetry for high flows! #hydrometry

New tech to help us gauge those all-important flashy peak flows - exciting developments ahead! Thanks NickEverard & Josh Wolstenholme for making the visit!

Busy 36 hours: Munro bagging in the Cairngorms, Caledonian Sleeper back down south and then straight out to gauge high flows at Littlestock Brook #NFM scheme! Great to see flood storage areas and leaky dams in action #Hydrology

🚨 New paper published! Investigating rainfall undercatch, focusing on Ott Pluvio as its installation increases in the UK. Open Access👍, download here ➡️ bit.ly/36VMpRH Working with Harry Dixon @UKCEH published in British Hydrological Society journal Hydrology Research

Looking forward to this event in London a week today - featuring a sneak preview of some of the data I’ve been collecting for my PhD

Lucky to be a part of a great (virtual for now) student community at UKCEH Wallingford. Important that we all stay connected
