Project Abstract
The research proposal will deliver outcomes that are readily usable by experts in flood risk management, and also by non-experts who wish to determine the likely range of potential changes in flood risk as a result of changes in rainfall extremes, due to climate change, for a given catchment profile. On completion, the work should deliver indicative degrees of change (e.g., percentage change) in peak flow for different catchment types and location for a range of possible climate futures.
