Flooding from intense rainfall (FFIR) has caused widespread disruption and damage right across Britain over recent years, but the processes governing its probability, incidence and impacts are poorly understood.
The SINATRA project is supported by a £2.7million consortium grant from NERC’s Flooding from Intense Rainfall Programme.
Led by project director, Hannah Cloke from Reading University, the project assembles a multidisciplinary team of world-leading experts from King's, Reading, Bristol, Newcastle, Hull, and Exeter Universities, as well as private sector partners Halcrow and JBA and a host of public sector research organizations including the Flood Forecasting Centre, Met Office, Environment Agency, and Health & Safety Laboratory.
