Reviews

Flood Risk Science And Management provides an extensive and comprehensive synthesis of current research in flood management, providing a multi-disciplinary reference text covering a wide range of flood management topics. (O Six Media, 28 February 2011)

Author Information

Gareth Pender is Professor of Environmental Engineering in the School of the Built Environment at Heriot Watt University. His research and consultancy interests are in fluvial flooding, particularly in the development and testing of computer models to predict flood inundation extent.  For the past five years he has led the UK’s Flood Risk Management Research Consortium an academic industrial partnership - to undertake research to improve flood risk management practice worldwide. Hazel Faulkner is a Professor of Environmental Science at the Flood Hazard Research Centre. Whilst spending a considerable part of her early career exploring the role of dispersive soils in gully initiation in semi-arid contexts, she has recently focused on the challenges of translating scientific formulations of flood risk, and communicating both risk and uncertainty effectively.   She sits on the Management Committee of the UK’s Flood Risk Management Research Consortium with responsibilities for integrated activities.
