DESCRIPTION:Prof. Lindsay Beevers\nAbstract:\nNatural hazards such as floo
 ds and droughts are set to intensify in the future as a direct result of t
 he climate emergency - in terms of magnitude as well as frequency. These c
 hanges play out against a backdrop of increasing global urbanisation and a
 s such poses challenges to the way we live in and manage our cities in the
  future. Alongside the race to net zero and climate mitigation – we need
  to adapt to the changing climate and increase our resilience. For this we
  need hydrological innovations in order to characterise and quantify hazar
 ds – now and in the future. This talk will explore how recent research i
 nnovation can be used to support decision making\, taking some examples of
  recent research at the University of Edinburgh.\n\nShort bio\nLindsay Bee
 vers is Professor of Environmental Engineering and Head of Research Instit
 ute at the University of Edinburgh. Her research is focused on the future 
 evolution of hydro-hazards (floods and droughts) as a result of climate ch
 ange\; and the implication these may have on society and the environment. 
 She has over 20 years’ experience in industry and academia working on ri
 ver basins across the globe.\n\nSandwiches offered at the end of the semin
 ar.\n
