Hydrology | flood forecasting & warning | risk communication | extreme events | climate adaptation Physical Geography Lecture at Oxford University & Hertford College
Running the Endurance Life Dorset Coast marathon this weekend can be summed up by this sign found on the coastal path - too windy to stand, so muddy you fell over again if you could, and a storm surge that meant a choice of detouring up the cliff or running through the sea. End of term #Type2Fun 🏃♀️

I don’t know if this is a subliminal statement about the state of the academic jobs market, or just some epic recycling, but I have found a good use for my #PhD!
(Fear not, it was just a draft copy)
The virtual Open Day for our Oxford PhD in environmental science is TOMORROW.

Are you looking for a #PhD in #Climate, #Earth or #Environmental science? Oxford's ILESLA programme could be for you.
Its a four year funded degree meaning you get chance in the 1st year to learn essential skills and to work with potential supervisors to refine your research topic.
More skyscapes, this one from a @uniofstandrews.bsky.social workshop on “Forecasting Rare and Severe Events: Behaviour, Verification, and Judgment” - discussing shared challenges with a truly interdisciplinary group & learning about forecasting avalanches with even less data than floods! ❄️⛷️⚠️

I had a really uplifting day yesterday at the UK River Summit and Festival. An eclectic gatherings of people with a range of interests and motivations, but there is space for more academics (and definitely more hydrologists) in these important conversations

Come join us for this early careers symposium!
Abstract submission closes THIS FRIDAY (June 13th).

I have recently been gifted this beautiful piece of hydrometry history (it was originally given to my grandad). Some internet sleuthing suggests it’s from ~1940 but I’d love to know if any hydrometry experts know anymore about when current meters like this would have been used?

We haven’t finalised this yet as we are still welcoming new potential supervisors. For climate, earth and parts of biology/ecology You can get a good idea by looking at supervisors on our previous programme www.environmental-research.ox.ac.uk/people

Making the most of the last few days before teaching term today and spotted some new (to me) Oxford Hydrology at Osney Lock
