Research problems linked to this topic
- What are the changes that will affect the quality and availability of agricultural land and how will these affect UK’s food and farming systems?
- How can we optimise the management of flood and coastal erosion infrastructure?
- What are possible governance and finance options for flood and coastal erosion risk management?
- Further our understanding of how climate change is affecting the health of the ocean as a result of acidification and warming seas
- How do we better prepare for the scale and frequency of future incidents? Including assessing our collective capacity and integrating incident management
- What are the most appropriate methodologies and indicators to measure the benefits of lowering the risk of catastrophic events, including fire, flood, structural failure?
- How can we better understand future flood and coastal erosion risk? Including assessing the impact of climate change, and wider social, political, or economic factors
- How do we increase societal resilience to flood and coastal erosion risk?
- How will natural habitats and systems respond to accelerating rate of change, including woodlands, soils, freshwater ecosystems, and marine systems? What will be the implications of these responses on managing the risks and impacts of climate change, and what inevitable changes will we have to accept in our ecosystems?
- How will changing freshwater budgets impact river flow, water availability, the risk of flooding, and natural systems?
- What is the potential of new technology and innovation to change and improve flood planning and infrastructure?
