NERCscience | A blueprint for flood-risk management - Paul Bates @NERCscience | Uploaded February 2015 | Updated October 2024, 48 minutes ago.
A computer model developed by the University of Bristol's Professor Paul Bates and his team to predict #flood risk has served as a blueprint for the #floodrisk management industry worldwide.
The latest LISFLOOD model can simulate the whole planet at ninety meters.
The #technology has been cloned by numerous #riskmanagement consultancies. This has not only saved commercial developers' time but also improved the predictive capability of models used in a multimillion-pound global industry that affects tens of millions of people annually. The model is now being used to make flood-hazard information available to the general public via Google Earth through a start-up company.
Paul Bates was the runner up at NERC's inaugural impact awards in the category recognising economic impact.
