The course introduces current theory and practice of flood risk estimation and modelling. and provides hands-on practice with industrial standard software.
This course covers the fundamentals of climate science, the earth system and the causes and evidence of climate change. This knowledge explains how the earth system (natural and human) is affected by climate change.
It is estimated that roughly 50% of flood risk in the UK is located in coastal and estuarial floodplains.
The course addresses the risks and likely impacts of climate change in the human, natural and built environments, covering key aspects such as water resources, flooding, sea level rise and coasts, health, transport, infrastructure and cities.

This one day course offers an introduction to the theory behind the non-linear behaviour of soil, the impact this has on predicting ground movements and presents a simple non-linear constitutive soil model that has that has been used widely in fin

The schedule is arranged so participants can attend all or part of the week to match their interests, ranging from underlying theory to engineering practice.
Monday: Flood Risk Estimation
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
