ENHANCING THE BENEFITS OF MATHEMATICAL ANALYSIS
IN FLOOD HYDROLOGY AND INDUSTRY MODELLING
[[https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=35304322|{{ :flooding:pulteneybridge.jpg?800 |}}]] ==== A workshop between mathematical and flood risk communities ==== We look forwards to welcoming you at this workshop in Bath on 3-4 December. The workshop will provide a forum for mathematicians and hydrological modellers to explore in depth how theoretical analysis can provide insights about the behaviour, calibration and robustness of rainfall-runoff models. The motivation for the workshop includes recognition that there is a vast array of hydrological models in the literature, many of which are related variants of common physical and conceptual structures. This workshop will form a unique gathering of not just theoretical modellers and applied mathematicians, but will also bring significant engagement with hydrological modellers, who are interested in examining the potential for mathematical analysis to help with issues. ==== Confirmed Participants ==== | **Participant** | **Group** | | [[https://tyndall.ac.uk/people/stephen-birkenshaw/|Steve Birkinshaw]] | Newcastle University | | [[https://eps.leeds.ac.uk/maths/staff/4009/professor-onno-bokhove|Onno Bokhove]] | University of Leeds | | [[https://samba.ac.uk/student/oliver-brady/|Oliver Brady]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/luca-brusasco-44200925b/|Luca Brusasco]] | University of Bristol | | [[https://samba.ac.uk/student/amy-darroch/|Amy Daroch]] | University of Bath | | [[https://samba.ac.uk/student/fiona-davies/|Fiona Davies]] | University of Bath | | [[https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=cQkYhMgAAAAJ&hl=en|Alex Doak]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.bath.ac.uk/profiles/co-director-non-academic-samba-and-university-cdt-lead-susie-douglas/|Susie Douglas]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/helen-harfoot-64a34b9b/|Helen Harfoot]] | Environment Agency | | [[https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/nicholas-j-k-howden/|Nicholas Howden]] | University of Bristol | | [[https://www.ceh.ac.uk/staff/alison-kay|Alison Kay]] | UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-kjeldsen-a65a6617/|Thomas Kjeldsen]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.lancaster.ac.uk/lec/about-us/people/rob-lamb|Rob Lamb]] | JBA Consulting | | [[https://www.ceh.ac.uk/staff/rosanna-lane|Rosie Lane]] | UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology | | [[https://research.manchester.ac.uk/en/persons/elizabeth-lewis-2/|Liz Lewis]] | University of Manchester | | [[https://www.durham.ac.uk/staff/s-a-mathias/|Simon Mathias]] | Durham University | | [[https://www.ncl.ac.uk/engineering/staff/profile/davidmilledge.html|Dave Milledge]] | Newcastle University | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/bob-moore-20828830/|Bob Moore]] | UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology | | [[https://katdoesmaths.me/|Kat Phillips]] | University of Warwick | | [[https://people.bath.ac.uk/cr777/|Christian Rohrbeck]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/paul-smith-324b4b134|Paul Smith]] | JBA Consulting | | [[https://researchportal.bath.ac.uk/en/persons/dina-theodosiadou/|Dina Theodosiadou]] | University of Bath | | [[http://www.ptrinh.com|Phil Trinh]] | University of Bath | | [[https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomas-willis-414ab859/|Tom Willis]] | Environment Agency | | [[https://research-information.bris.ac.uk/en/persons/ross-a-woods/|Ross Woods]] | University of Bristol | ==== Location and arrival information ==== The workshop will be held in the **Brunswick Room** at the beautiful Guildhall in the centre of Bath.
