Building local/lay flood knowledges into community flood resilience planning after the July 2007 floods, Gloucestershire, UK (2012)
Journal Article
McEwen, L., & Jones, O. (2012). Building local/lay flood knowledges into community flood resilience planning after the July 2007 floods, Gloucestershire, UK. Hydrology Research, 43(5), 675-688. https://doi.org/10.2166/nh.2012.022

A UK Cabinet Office review after the 2007 floods highlighted different types of knowledge needed for effective flood risk management, along with knowledge gaps. This paper explores key, emerging aspects of this expanded knowledge base, namely relatio...

Stochastic drought quantification for the South Canadian Prairie (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Chun, K., Wheater, H., Vashchyshyn, I., & Khaliq, N. (2012, December). Stochastic drought quantification for the South Canadian Prairie. Presented at AGU Fall Meeting, San Francisco

For formulating robust adaptation policies under nonstationary climate, drought processes need to be characterised and modelled adequately. As a case study, the major drought episode in the early 2000s in the South Canadian Prairie is investigated us... Read More about Stochastic drought quantification for the South Canadian Prairie.

A stochastic assessment of climate change impacts on precipitation and potential evaporation in Alberta (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Vashchyshyn, I., Wheater, H., & Chun, K. (2012, December). A stochastic assessment of climate change impacts on precipitation and potential evaporation in Alberta. Poster presented at AGU Fall Meeting

In many climate change investigations, changes in precipitation are projected under various scenarios; however, changes in evaporation have received relatively less attention. For irrigation and water resources management, the difference between pote... Read More about A stochastic assessment of climate change impacts on precipitation and potential evaporation in Alberta.

Thinking like a wetland (2012)
Journal Article
Dillon, P., Gross, P., Irvine, R., Price, V. C., & Staddon, C. (2012). Thinking like a wetland. Journal of Arts and Communities, 4(1), 100-126. https://doi.org/10.1386/jaac.4.1-2.100_1

This article is an invitation to therapeutic deconstruction: a call to reconsider our assumptions about land, water and the relationship between the wet and the dry. It takes the form of a dialogue in which poetry (Gross) and visual art (Price) promp... Read More about Thinking like a wetland.

Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions (2012)
Conference Proceeding
Farmani, R., Atkinson, S., Butler, D., Cheng, V., Echenique, M., Grinevich, V., …Zachariadis, V. (2012). Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions.

An integrated (socio-economic, technical) approach based on land use and water demand management is proposed in order to adapt to the challenges of growing water stress and supply vulnerability. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is examin... Read More about Green infrastructures as a potential strategy for balancing supply and demand in water stressed regions.
