I am an Associate Professor in the Department of Geography and Co-Director of the Institute of Hazard, Risk and Resilience at Durham University. My research focuses on hydrological dynamics, simulation of environmental processes and water-based risks. These water-based risks include diffuse pollution impacts on water quality and projected climate change impacts on water resources, low flows and flooding.
Date: March 01, 2018 ConnectEUR workshop in Palermo, Italy. The understanding of hydrological connectivity is often broken down into two distinct types: functional and structural (see… Read More »Modelling and using structural and functional connectivity
