项目摘要

The City of London "Square Mile" is the historic centre of London and the financial and commercial heart of the UK. It is a very high-density urban environment with a low level of greening and few mature trees. Specific modelling carried out by the Met Office (UKCP18) for 'The City' of London indicates that overall winters will be 20% wetter and summers 30% drier with more extreme weather events and sea level rise. Increased rainfall and surface water run-off present an issue for The City, where the presence of hard surfaces and will significantly increase the risk of flooding of high-profile commercial premises. Temperatures and heatwaves will also increase in frequency leading to increased mortality and issues of overheating for The City's people and services. The future resilience of The City to climate change is high on the City of London Corporation's (CoL) agenda. The aim of this embedded researcher placement between Katy Freeborough, of the British Geological Survey, and the CoL is to support the delivery of the City of London Corporation's Climate Action Strategy 2020-2027. A key strand of this strategy is to improve the resilience of the City to future extreme weather and long-term climatic changes though identification of potential adaptation measures. The 12- month placement will focus on the use of subsurface space to support delivery of the Climate Action Strategy to identify potential opportunities as to how subsurface space may be better used to improve climate resilience. The project will evaluate a range of subsurface climate adaptation options; sustainable urban drainage systems, urban greening and tree planting, cool spaces below ground, ground sourced energy and prevention of damage to buried utility services. Traditionally subsurface knowledge has been under-utilised in resilience planning as its significance is often misunderstood or underappreciated. Addressing data issues and interpreting technical analysis can be problematic for non-specialists. The research project has been designed to help identify and better understand data, identify suitable locations for surface-subsurface climate resilience adaption measures and support the development of plans for their implementation and future monitoring of their effectiveness. The placement will provide a platform for surface-subsurface knowledge exchange. The project will identify, collate, examine and understand relevant data and policy sources; explore how best to visualise and represent the 3D information; how to manage data sharing protocols; and provide the level and understanding of data required to fully define options for subsurface use. By working alongside urban planning experts at CoL, Katy will gain greater insight into planning processes and routes to downscale NERC geoscience research for local application delivered through the planning regime.Fundamentally the placement will answer the question 'How can the urban subsurface help us meet our climate objectives?', and specifically for CoL 'What subsurface measures can be implemented and where?' and 'If current understanding is insufficient, what work is needed to fill the gaps?'.

伦敦金融城“平方英里”是伦敦的历史中心，也是英国的金融和商业中心。这是一个密度非常高的城市环境，绿化水平较低，成熟树木很少。英国气象局(UKCP18)对伦敦金融城进行的具体模拟表明，随着更极端的天气事件和海平面上升，整体冬季将更加潮湿20%，夏季将更加干燥30%。降雨量增加和地表水径流是该市的一个问题，在那里，坚硬的表面的存在，将大大增加高调商业场所的洪水风险。气温和热浪的频率也将增加，导致死亡率增加，并给城市人民和服务带来过热问题。伦敦金融城未来对气候变化的适应能力是伦敦金融城公司(COL)议程上的重中之重。英国地质调查局的凯蒂·弗里伯勒和科尔之间的这一嵌入式研究员职位的目的是支持伦敦金融城公司2020-2027年气候行动战略的实施。这一战略的一个关键部分是通过确定可能的适应措施，提高该市对未来极端天气和长期气候变化的适应能力。为期12个月的安排将侧重于利用地下空间支持《气候行动战略》的交付，以确定如何更好地利用地下空间提高气候复原力的潜在机会。该项目将评估一系列地下气候适应方案；可持续的城市排水系统、城市绿化和植树、地下凉爽空间、地源能源和防止损害埋藏的公用事业服务。传统上，地下知识在复原力规划中没有得到充分利用，因为它的重要性经常被误解或低估。对于非专业人员来说，解决数据问题和解释技术分析可能是有问题的。该研究项目旨在帮助确定和更好地理解数据，确定适用于地表-地下气候复原力适应措施的地点，并支持制定这些措施的执行计划和今后对其有效性的监测。这次安置将为地表-地下知识交流提供一个平台。该项目将确定、整理、检查和了解相关数据和政策来源；探索如何最好地可视化和表示3D信息；如何管理数据共享协议；并提供充分确定地下使用备选方案所需的数据水平和理解。通过与科尔大学的城市规划专家合作，凯蒂将更深入地了解规划过程和路线，以通过规划方案降低NERC地球科学研究的规模，供当地应用。最基本的是，这次安置将回答这样一个问题：城市地下空间如何帮助我们实现我们的气候目标？特别是对于科尔大学来说，可以实施哪些地下措施，以及在哪里实施？以及“如果目前的理解还不够充分，还需要做些什么来填补这些空白？”
