Our Team

Researchers

FLOOD-CDT is a collaborative partnership involving four world-class UK Universities:

and three Research Centres:

the National Oceanography Centre (NOC),
the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology (UKCEH), and
the British Geological Survey (BGS).

Collectively, research staff at these seven organisations provide expertise across all the main drivers of flooding and will host the PhD students.

Partners

FLOOD-CDT has exceptional buy-in from the flood sector. It was co-designed and is being co-delivered with an additional 40 partners representing local authorities, national government, national organisations, water, energy and infrastructure companies, environmental, engineering and management consultancies, regulators, finance and (re)insurance companies, accreditation institutes, and charities, reaching across the UK and abroad.
