SCIMAP-Flood aims to help prioritise natural flood risk management and nature-based solutions within the catchment to increase their effectiveness. The tool identifies the origin of the water that contributes to the flood peaks within the…
SCIMAP-Flood is a spatial targeting tool for NFM mitigation features and nature-based solutions (NbS) that slow and store flood waters. The software implementation of SCIMAP-Flood is a command-line application that processes a set of GIS…
Sim Reaney, Durham University 2022 Overview SCIMAP-Flood is a spatial targeting tool for flow slowing natural flood risk management schemes. The tool considers the spatial structure of the landscape, rainfall patterns, the pattern of runoff…
Agricultural practices contribute a significant amount of faecal material onto pasture via direct defecation by grazing livestock and through applications of solid and liquid manures. Managing the spatial and temporal input of this faecal loading…
My name is Kenneth Porter and I am a first year NERC-funded PhD student. I’ll be working on my project “Risk-based modelling of pathogen export from agricultural catchments under a changing climate” for the next…
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…
There have been a series of Masters by Reseach and Doctoral (PhD) research project that have been undertaken at Durham University. For each of these project, the thesis is available on the Durham e-Theses website.…
A new ESRC research project investigating the economic benefits of diffuse pollution mitigation targeting is using SCIMAP.
SCIMAP is being used in the Defra funded River Eden Demonstration Test Catchment (EdenDTC) project. This project is investigating the dynamics of water quality from agricultural land using state of the art, real time, water…
Durham Wildlife Trust is using SCIMAP to identify areas with high fine sediment pollution risk within the River Wear catchment. The trust exists to protect wildlife and is therefore committed to tackling the problems that…
