Economic of Spatial Targeting
https://vimeo.com/63326111/ Ashar Aftab, Durham University This interdisciplinary research combines recent advances in science and innovative economic incentives to develop forward-looking and practically implementable spatially targeted policies to regulate agricultural externalities. The substantial efficiency savings from…
Integrating sediment and nutrient risk in catchments
https://vimeo.com/63326113 Magda Bieroza , Lancaster University Lancaster University is developing further and integrating the risks from fine sediment, phosphorus and nitrogen losses from catchments using the SCIMAP approach pioneered by Durham and Lancaster Universities. We…
SCIMAP: A history of the rivers trust movement and hydrological connectivity
https://vimeo.com/62857760 Alistair Maltby, Director North, The Rivers Trust The earliest principles of the rivers trust movement were based on managing catchments as watersheds, and the twelve principles of the ecosystems approach. In the agricultural dominated…
Comparing SCIMAP critical source areas to locally identified ‘hotspots’ from catchment walkover surveys.
John M Douglass, Environment Agency. A good SCIMAP-sediment model will identify probable critical source areas of fine sediment within a catchment at a field scale. It does this by estimating relative erodability of soils and…

The SCIMAP modelling framework: a powerful tool for targeting the planning and delivery of integrated catchment management interventions.
Nick Paling, Westcountry Rivers Trust. If we can determine which pressures are exerting negative impacts on the water quality in our aquatic ecosystems and identify their sources in a catchment, then we can develop a…
SCIMAP: The experience of the Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust.
David Higgins, Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust The Yorkshire Dales Rivers Trust has been using SCIMAP to target investigations for at least five years. Many of the restoration works carried out have been directed by the model. Wetlands, gill…
MSc research on using SCIMAP by Steph Dixon
Steph Dixon has completed her MSc by Research that looked at how to incorporate temporal issues associated with rural diffuse pollution within the SCIMAP risk mapping framework. The full Masters by Research thesis is on…
Land cover erosion risk weights and LCM2007
If you are using the current CEH Land Cover Map 2007 (LCM2007), then the standard reclassification table that is used in SCIMAP will not work because CEH changed how they coded the different land cover…
