River Engineering and Geomorphology
Leveraging a diverse array of numerical models and physical model laboratories, we tackle complex hydraulic issues effectively. Our studies offer invaluable insights into the evolution, stability, and behavior of rivers and estuaries, essential for designing sustainable engineering works and managing river systems. From analyzing the hydraulics of diverse natural channels, including the world’s largest rivers to urban streams, to addressing natural hazards like flooding, erosion, and deposition, our comprehensive approach ensures thorough risk assessment. Moreover, our expertise extends to restoring and enhancing degraded channels impacted by human activity or natural events, further exemplifying our capabilities at NHC.
