Rural Land Management Impacts on Catchment Scale Flood Risk
This thesis examines the relationship between rural land management and downstream flood risk. The recent increase in flood frequency and magnitude has been hypothesised to have been caused by either climate change or land management. The theoretical basis for why these factors might increase flood …

The role of floodplains on the propagation of land management signals in the Vale of York
… flood risk is vital in order to create flood management strategies that utilise the natural attenuation properties of floodplains to reduce future flood risk. The impact of flood levées on the propagation of upstream land management signals has been assessed in this thesis. The study utilised …

Applying genetic algorithms to multi-objective land-use planning.
… genetic algorithms (GAs) to multi-objective land-use planning. Rural land managers, in the UK and elsewhere in Europe, are faced with an increasingly complex decision-making environment where a varied mix of goals have to be achieved. To address this problem, GA-based land-use planning tools …
