Understanding drought risk in China and improving drought monitoring and early warning

A summary of the outcomes of the collaboration between the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology and the China Institute of Water Resources and Hydropower Research over the last four years. Activities have included workshops in China and the UK, co-hosting a PhD student and working on analyses and publications together

Trends in reported flooding in the UK: 1884-2013

A long term dataset of reported flooding based on reports from the UK Meteorological Office and the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology is described. This is possibly a unique dataset as the authors are unaware of any other 100+ year records of flood events and their consequences on a national scale. Flood events are classified by severity based upon qualitative descriptions. There is an increase in the number of reported flood events over time associated with an increased exposure to flooding as floodplain areas were developed. The data was de-trended for exposure, using population and dwelling house data. The adjusted record shows no trend in reported flooding over time, but there is significant decade to decade variability. This study opens a new approach considering flood occurrence over a long timescale using reported information (and thus likely effects on society) rather than just considering trends in extreme hydrological conditions.<br/

Mapping greenhouse gas emissions & removals for the land use, land-use change & forestry sector. A report of the National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory 1990-2021

Prepared by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology for the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. This report describes the method used to spatially disaggregate the emissions and removals in the Land Use, Land-Use Change and Forestry (LULUCF) sector to enable the compilation of LULUCF estimates for Local Authorities (LAs) as part of the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero's assistance to LAs in tracking progress on decarbonisation

Report: community workshop on environmental model code of long-term value

Software is increasingly essential to research activities, from data collection to its processing and storage, and its publication and use. It underpins other scholarly research output and can be used, reused, re-examined, and further developed (Katz and Chue Hong 2024). Recognising the role of research software in environmental science, this report covers a workshop on environmental model code of long-term value run by The UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) on 21st November 2023

UK rural land use archetypes

The Climate Change Committee (CCC) commissioned the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology to identify and characterise a set of baseline archetypes that are representative of current rural land-use and land-management in England and each of the devolved administrations. This work represents the first part of the CCC’s wider project on 'Archetypes for transforming rural UK land-use to high-carbon, climate resilient, nature rich and economically productive systems'. The report dated 29.06.2023 was published on the CCC website on 08.08.2023

Global-scale modelling of glaciers, ice sheets and permafrost : recommendations for Hydro-JULES

This report is part of the Hydro-JULES research programme supported by NERC National Capability funding (grant number: NE/S017380/1) to the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH), British Geological Survey (BGS) and National Centre for Atmospheric Science (NCAS). Hydro-JULES will deliver an open-source, three-dimensional community model of the terrestrial water cycle. As part of work package 4, the BGS will develop an enhanced representation of groundwater in Hydro-JULES and link it to land-surface processes, with the aim of implementing the model on a global scale. In cold regions, glaciers, ice sheets and permafrost influence regional groundwater flow and recharge processes. This report aims to facilitate the inclusion of cryosphere–groundwater systems in the Hydro-JULES modelling framework by reviewing potential modelling approaches and then prioritising a set of model developments that should be undertaken as part of the ongoing development of the Hydro-JULES modelling framework. All outputs from the HydroJULES programme (including this report) are open and freely available to ensure transparency and auditability in the development of the scientific approach

Emerging science for sustainable water resource management: a guide for water professionals and practitioners in India

This book brings together new and innovative research and technical advancements arising from research conducted by the UK Centre for Ecology & Hydrology (UKCEH) in collaboration with a number of different partners across India. The book aims to provide evidence for why and how emerging science can support sustainable management and use of water resources. It draws from the work of hydrologists, freshwater ecologists, water chemists and other experts who share the emerging science in their area of expertise. Examples of how and why this science shows promise for future applications to water management are given, particularly in an Indian context

Monitoreo de visitas florales mediante el Conteo Cronometrado de Visitantes Florales (FIT Count)

El Conteo Cronometrado de Visitantes Florales (de aquí en adelante denominado como FIT Count) es un sencillo protocolo de ciencia ciudadana que tiene como objetivo colectar datos sobre eventos de visita en flores por una amplia gama de polinizadores, incluyendo abejorros, abejas sin aguijón, abejas melíferas, moscas y picaflores. Cada FIT Count está estandarizado a una duración de 10 minutos y se realiza en un parche floral determinado, usando un cuadrante de 50 x 50 cm. Dado que la polinización depende de las interacciones de los insectos (u otros visitantes florales) con las flores, es importante para un programa de ciencia ciudadana de largo plazo el poder evaluar cómo estas interacciones cambian en el tiempo y el espacio. El protocolo FIT Count nos permite afrontar este desafío mediante la obtención de datos de abundancia de visitantes florales en distintos hábitats y lugares. ¡También ofrece una excelente oportunidad de aprendizaje y de acercar a las personas a los polinizadores y las flores, dado que cualquier persona puede participar!Fil: Carvell, Claire.
