Fab week in North Carolina talking all things watery & climate with colleagues at UNCW & UNC 💧🌊🚰 Great to spend time with folks UNC Institute for the Environment, UNC History, UNCW_CMS and from Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office supporting UK-North Carolina relations. Excited about future research collabs & student mobility

Enjoyed the 18th AESOP Young Academics Conf at @Polimi, presenting on 'Contested Floodscapes' in Track 5. Big thanks to the track chairs & coordinators for insightful feedback. Thrilled by the discussions on urban planning for co-existence! 🌍🏙️ #AESOP2024 #UrbanFloodResilience

Thank you to colleagues UNCW and UNCW_CMS in North Carolina for hosting our Director Prof. Briony McDonagh and Robert Skelton-Clarke, Global Lead @UniofHull
We look forward to future collaborations around environmental and community resilience

Awesome couple of days UNCW meeting colleagues and discussing future coastal, estuarine & marine research collaborations. Especial thanks to folks UNCW_CMS who hosted us in the amazing waterfront Centre for Marine Science. Look at that view from the dock 👀

Thank you so much, Dave! It was an honor to represent University of Hull and Yorkshire Universities at both conferences. I'm grateful for the opportunity to showcase our institutions’ commitment to excellence and innovation in sustainability. Looking forward to continuing the contributions.

Great fieldtrip with #FloodRiskManagement students to see #NFM upstream from Pickering and Sinnington. We got to see the result of beavers building dams. Amazing to see the impact - such good river engineers!

Safe travels to @UniofHull colleagues at today's University of Leeds Sustainability student sustainability research conference. Our #PhD researcher Blessing Mucherera is selected for the opening panel and later, Caitlin Matthews will present ‘Considering Gender within Net Zero and Climate Resilience’ 1/3

New paper published exploring Hull’s histories of living with water and flood, from the town's foundation in the 1260s through to c. 1700. The research is part of our wider work utilising learning histories inc through our Risky_Cities project

JOB ALERT: A 12-15 month PDRA working with me on the hydraulic/hydrological modelling component of a Digital Twin for flooding based on Hull (using CAESAR with ZOOM groundwater model). Its NERC funded working with colleagues at the BGS, Imperial and UWE. jobs.hull.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

Delighted to be one of these projects with FLOODTWIN our Flooding based Digital Twin for Hull and the Humber. Energy and Environment Institute University of Hull along with British Geological Survey Wouter Buytaert Lindsey McEwen and others.

Congratulations to Dr Hannah Marsden the first @UniofHull graduate from our #AuraCDT
Now official a Doctor of Philosophy for her thesis entitled ‘From Textile waste to carbon nano-materials for offshore wind blades’

Co-authored by me with Ed Brookes @learnbyhand Stewart Mottram Prof. Briony McDonagh & Gill Hughes, read this to learn more about the amazing work of Risky_Cities and how we used historic flood petitions for present day climate engagement.

Today in Victoria County History central office we’ve been exploring the VCH archives created in the early 20th C in preparation for planned but never published VCH Westmoreland Vols. 1&2 . Here’s a 🧵about what we’ve found!

Last week was filled with lots of excitement. Started the week off with the beginning of my long-term experiments in the flume 🦀. I ended the week visiting Whitby Lobster Hatchery, in preparation for some exciting work to come next year 😍 watch this space 🦞

A rare shot of (most of) the EEI team at our away day. Thanks to Allison Newsome for a fabulous talk on her rain-harvesting public art and Languages @ Hull University for a Japanese language & culture session. And not least our team for throwing themselves into the Xmas activities
