Internationalising and exploiting flood risk management research

这一建议源于洪水风险管理研究联盟(FRMRC)中发挥主导作用的一个研究小组。FRMRC的目的是通过开展原创性研究来改进洪水风险管理，从而提供工具和技术，以减少对人和财产的洪水风险。总计595万英镑的资金由英国研究委员会、政府部门和负责英国洪水风险管理的机构提供。拟议的活动旨在加强调查人员之间的现有合作，并加强他们在国际上和与其他学科的联系。为实现这一目标，已经汇集了一系列双向国际交流、知识转移活动和学科间交流。即将与北卡罗来纳州杜克大学合作，开发模拟海岸地貌的新的先进方法。与美国陆军工程兵团合作，英国研究人员访问美国，并开发供FRMRC研究人员使用的联合案例研究。3.举办关于防洪设施可靠性分析主题的国际讲习班和对代尔夫特工业大学的考察访问。4.即将就决堤和洪水模型问题对日本进行合作和国际访问。5.即将与中国就决堤和洪水模型问题进行合作和国际访问。6.借调到HR Wallingford Ltd和行业讲习班，主题为洪水模型和洪水风险分析的开放软件框架。7.与南安普敦国家海洋学中心的统计学家合作。

This proposal originates from a sub-group of researchers who play a leading role in the Flood Risk Management Research Consortium (FRMRC). The aim of FRMRC aim is to improve flood risk management by undertaking original research that results in the delivery of tools and techniques to reduce of flood risk to people and property. The total funding of 5.95m is provided by the UK research councils, government departments and agencies responsible for flood risk management in the UK. The proposed activities are designed to strengthen the existing collaboration between the Investigators and enhance their links internationally and with other disciplines. A package of two-way international exchanges, knowledge transfer activities and movement between disciplines has been assembled to achieve this1. Outgoing collaboration with Duke University, NC, to develop new advanced methods for simulation of coastal morphology.2. Collaboration with US Army Corps of Engineers, through a visit by UK researchers to the USA and development of a joint case study for use by FRMRC researchers. 3. International workshop and a study visit to the Technical University of Delft on the subject of reliability analysis of flood defences. 4. Incoming collaboration and international visit to Japan on the subjects of dike breaching and inundation modelling. 5. Incoming collaboration and international visit to China on the subjects of dike breaching and inundation modelling. 6. Secondments to HR Wallingford Ltd and industry workshop on the subject of inundation modelling and open software frameworks for flood risk analysis. 7. Collaboration with statisticians at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton.
