Storyline approaches to regional flood risk: making climate change relatable. | Postgraduate study | Loughborough University

This project aims to bring together evidence from climate projections, risk assessment and observations to develop and evaluate event-based storylines based on recent flooding in Leicestershire, UK.

It's bedform week in Loughborough!

Our second year geomorphologists are getting to grips with the concept of Thresholds through a nice flume experiment!

Lovely to be able to order first paper mugs for Mel Guirro, Jiao Chen and David Whitfield (@dwhit.bsky.social). Well done!

Three mugs with the typeset first page of academic papers on them.

The backs of the three mugs, which have figures from the papers on them.

*New #OA Paper*

Erosion dynamics in carbonate bedrock channels inhibit weathering processes

How does dissolution impact rock erodibility throughout river cross-sections? We explore that question here, just out in ESPL: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

Planning for Gravel Bed Rivers 10 is underway. We are identifying speakers, but we're short of researchers from outside Europe/N America. Do you know anyone doing exciting research on gravel bed rivers from these areas? Please get in touch!

Dates are 7th to 11th Sept 2026, more to follow.

The Allt Dubhaig, Scotland. There is a gravel bed river in the foreground, with lots of exposed gravel in a bar. There are mountains in the background with a bit of snow on, and a sky with clouds in.
