🎓 GeoTech Cohort Sharing
Proud of Muhammad Sanan, our GeoTech Master’s student, for presenting his poster at the GRSG Conference in London! 🌍📡
His work used remote sensing to trace historical channels of the River Ravi, showing that modern housing societies were built on former river paths, reframing flooding as rivers returning to where they once flowed.

Amber flood alert: South Wales told to brace for “severe risk to life” overnight
Heavy rain set to hammer South Wales
South Wales is braced for a night of chaos as persistent, heavy rain threatens to unleash floods across the region. The Met Office has slapped an Amber warning on South and South West Wales, with Yellow warnings stretching across the north.
After weeks of downpours, the ground is already saturated and rivers are swollen. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) says widespread Flood Alerts have been issued, with Flood Warnings expected to follow as river levels surge.
“Severe risk to life”
NRW says its models show Severe Flood Warnings could be triggered overnight — the highest level of alert, meaning homes, businesses and lives are at risk.
Sally Davies, Duty Tactical Manager Wales at NRW, said:
“Our real concern is the potential for Severe Flood Warnings in parts of South Wales, and how this situation could escalate rapidly in the early hours of the morning.”
“Flood alerts and warnings will be issued as rivers reach trigger levels, and we want everyone to do all they can to keep themselves safe.
“We’re urging people to be vigilant and to make preparations for potential flooding now. You can check if you live in an area at risk of flooding on our website and sign up for our free flood warning service.
“We do not provide flood warnings for flooding from surface water, so it’s important for everyone to know their flood risk.”
“If flooding is possible in your area, think about preparing a flood kit with any important documents and medication, moving your car to higher ground and moving treasured possessions upstairs or to a higher place.”
Updates through the night
Flood alerts and warnings are updated every 15 minutes on the Natural Resources Wales website: www.naturalresources.wales/flooding. Information is also available by calling Floodline on 0345 988 1188.

With forecasts of major flooding for both, the Skagit (34 ft) and the Snohomish (36 ft), here's a thread I wrote a while back about the flood gates that Mount Vernon installed to protect its downtown area, and which successfully resisted a 35ft flooding on 2021. The thread has links to some incredible footage of that flood.
Attached: 2 images Mount Vernon's downtown is located by the Skagit River. It has a path overlooking the water, which changes with the seasons depending on the amount of glacier sediment. It's a pleasant place to hang out. Here are two pictures of the Skagit Riverwalk. First, as seen from the Riverwalk itself, the other as seen from the boat launch accross the river. Notice the brick walls, and their elevation. 7/n #pnw #FloodRisks
Day 20 of #30DayMapChallenge: Water
For today's theme, nothing says "water" like the places where it becomes a serious threat. Here’s the EU JRC Flood Hazard layer presented in Graph by Quarticle, showing river flood-prone areas across Europe for different return periods and intensities.
