HydroEurope 2023-2024 - Nice, France
The HydroEurope course is part of the Erasmus cooperative project, focusing on Climate Change Impacts on Flash Floods across six European case studies. The initiative promotes collaborative learning among 12 teams comprising 10-12 students.
Aligned with EU climate action, the course emphasises the expected rise in precipitation leading to various flood types. Notably, the project addresses the need for enhanced curriculum coverage on climate change impacts in water engineering programs. Team-11, our group, will specifically examine the Ouseburn Catchment, located in Newcastle upon Tyne.
Our diverse team comprises students from Nice (France), Warsaw (Poland), and Newcastle (UK), collaborating remotely under the leadership of Prof. Caspar Hewett / Alexandra Seawell as Supervisor and Felipe de Mendonca Fileni as Tutor to analyse hydrological data for the Ouseburn Catchment. Employing a novel methodology, we aim to assess the impact of climate change on the catchment, fostering a cross-cultural and interdisciplinary approach to address hydrological challenges. We work towards advancing our understanding of climate-induced changes in the Ouseburn Catchment and contributing valuable insights to hydroinformatics and water management education.
