Research projects enable us to co-produce new knowledge for people within the catchment and beyond to inform better decisions about how we use our environment to support sustainable societies.
Current projects
- LANDWISE: LAND Management in lowland catchments for Integrated flood riSk rEduction
- Twenty 65: Tailored solutions to deliver sustainable water for all by 2065
- Imprex: Learn from today to anticipate tomorrow
- LIBERATION: Linking farmland biodiversity to ecosystem services for effective ecological intensification
- CALIBRE: Co-delivery of food and climate regulation by temperate agroforestry
- PASQUAL: Monitoring and prediction of pasture quality and productivity from satellites
