NEW date 22 & 23 October 2019
Penrith, Rheged Centre
The Centre for Ecology & Hydrology is holding a 2-day sandpit in 2019, funded by the Science and Technology Facilities Council. The sandpit will be held at Rheged, Penrith, which has the benefit of being co-located to a number of important field runoff experiments. Please apply by the end of August 2019.
The broad aims of the sandpit are to generate research proposals which can:
- Build a better understanding of the problems and challenges posed by water runoff and allow these to be framed in a clearer way.
- Address the key research challenges that are identified through use of STFC facilities , technology and expertise.
- Facilitate interactions between key researchers and end-users in water and agriculture.
The sandpit will include demonstrations of scientific advancements in the area of rainfall runoff modelling, including the demonstrations of real time flood forecasting for arable environments from JBA, and novel sensor systems for measuring diffuse pollution. Following the sandpit, participants will be invited to apply for funding for ~10 projects at up to £20k each. The aim is for projects to deliver advanced technology solutions to address the challenges identified by the community.
Over the next few weeks, CEH will be inviting expressions of interest from the rainfall-runoff research community.
