For the past two years Slow The Flow, alongside Calderdale Council and the Environment Agency has sponsored an MRes studentship at the University of Leeds to analysis the flood reduction capabilities of our community Natural Flood Management work. The results of this work are impressive and help to confirm the benefits of using natural flood management.
Now, via a partnership with the University of Huddersfield, we are looking to recruit a second MRes student to investigate a different area of work: The effect of natural flood management (NFM) structures on aquatic macroinvertebrates and terrestrial plant diversity. This is an exciting opportunity for an undergraduate to continue their studies in a fully funded and supported programme looking at a vitally important area of work.
For further information or an informal discussion on this project, please contact Dr. Tory Milner (Director of Studies) via email at [email protected].
