Last few weeks to see 🤖Science Fiction: Voyage to the Edge of Imagination 🌎🚀Science Museum
Closes ⚠️20 Aug 2023
🌧️I had such fun collaborating with the fabulous Glyn Morgan on the importance of imagination & storytelling in understanding future risks such as #ClimateChange

'For people who have been flooded, flooding seeps into every facet of life'. The F word is now out discussing the importance of having human impacts at the heart of flood risk management tinyurl.com/336rwvuu National Flood Forum Environment Agency Hannah Cloke

Congratulations Helen Titley 👏👏👏👏💦📖

The best part of the job! Congratulations to Drs Faith KiM Maureen Anyango, PhD and Ervin Zsoter!

What fantastic work advancing the science around the prediction of floods and their impacts.

📺 Hannah Cloke talks about her research into flood forecasting with The Royal Society at the #SummerScience Exhibition last week.

Watch from 1:13:00:

BREAKING: the White Cliffs of Dover have been illuminated with the UK 'warming stripes' for #ShowYourStripes day!

These stripes represent the UK average temperature from 1884 to 2022 with blue colours for colder years and red colours for hotter years.

In 2021, hundreds of people died from floods in Europe.

Reading hydrologists Water @ Reading Geography and Environmental Science @ UoR worked to develop a flood warning system and communicate the importance of flood preparedness to the public through the media. 🌊 Hannah Cloke Jeff Da Costa Jess Neumann

Following today's World Meteorological Organization news that there's a 66% chance the world will surpass the 1.5°c global warming limit between now and 2027, we spoke to Hannah Cloke from Reading Meteorology and Geography and Environmental Science @ UoR about what this means for people and the planet. #ClimateCrisis

Professor Hannah Cloke, Professor Prof Paul Williams and Professor Nigel Arnell featured in ITV News Meridian's series 'The Elements', about the climate challenges we are facing related to water, wind and fire.

Many congratulations Holly, Christine and Phil!

And it's a wrap! We had a full house at our #scicomm session this morning! Thank you participants for bringing your authentic selves to us so early in the morning and for cormoranting with us! Feedback form is on the course website, help us improve! See you all next year! #egu23

Talking to Good Morning Britain this morning as Devon joins Cornwall in a #hosepipeban - some reservoirs are only 66% full despite recent rain… what are your thoughts on the summer ahead? #drought #floods #wateruse .
Thanks Jeff Da Costa for the video

It's socioeconomic #inequality that drives urban #watercrises of today, and tomorrow.
