Royal Meteorological Society Weather to Water: Whole Water Cycle Monitoring for UK Flood and Drought Resilience

This one-hour online event explores how the UK is improving observations of floods, droughts and the wider water cycle. It is aimed at meteorologists, hydrologists, environmental scientists, industry professionals, researchers and weather enthusiasts who want to understand the latest work in this area.

Attendees will hear directly from the Floods and Droughts Research Infrastructure (FDRI) team about the physical monitoring infrastructure being developed, the open-access digital platform, and the opportunities this creates for innovation and collaboration. The session will also explain FDRI’s scientific priorities, the types of measurements being collected, and how the infrastructure could support research across the Chess, Upper Severn and Upper Tweed catchments and beyond.
