Bristol Data Stories Episode 8:

Mapping flood risk: from the local to the global with Jeffrey Neal

Join us for the eighth episode of Bristol Data Stories, where we talk to Jeffrey Neal, a researcher in disaster risk, specifically the risk from flooding. He is a Professor of Hydrology in the School of Geographical Sciences at the University of Bristol. In this episode, we explore the field of flood hazards and risks, and Jeff's use of numerical models and methods to map these risks. We also discuss the wide-ranging applications of Jeff's work, from insurance and risk management to humanitarian disaster response and wetland management.

Bristol Data Stories is a podcast series by the Jean Golding Institute (JGI). This podcast series explores the personal research journeys of our guests and the diversity of research projects they've worked on. In each episode, we talk about what inspires them to pursue their work, the challenges they face, and the advice they have for aspiring researchers. Our hosts for this episode were Léo Gorman, former JGI Data Scientist, and James Thomas, JGI Senior Data Scientist. If you have any ideas for guests you’d like to hear from, or topics we should discuss, we’d love to hear from you.
