Flooding: a costly catchment-scale challenge, but one we can prepare for

Hutton Highlights:

Flooding is an issue that’s increasingly high on the agenda. What’s behind these events, what exacerbates them, why are the obvious solutions maybe not so easy to implement and what can we do to be more prepared for the next one? We take a dip into these stormy waters with scientists from across our environmental and social sciences teams.
Host:
Elaine Maslin, Media Officer (Aberdeen) at the Hutton
Guests:
Dr Marc Stutter, a senior scientist focusing on river catchment management
Dr Mark Wilkinson, a senior research scientist in catchment hydrology.
Dr Mags Currie, a senior researcher in our social sciences team who has looked at the longer-term impacts of flood events on people.
