Examine the present news releases on the issue of flooding in the UK and this will tell you all about the pressing need to develop accurate and reliable predictive theories for flooding. A typical question that concerns us is how flooding can be predicted in sites where there is limited data. In this case, mathematical models can be used to anticipate the chance of flooding.

In this project, the student will investigate some well-known models for flooding, review the state-of-the-art knowledge of flood prediction, and seek to study some of the interesting problems that confront us in the modern era.
