@JackPerksPhoto @crayfish_uk @ursula_juta @ProfJGrey Likely @JackPerksPhoto - though I’ve not worked with the blighters for several years now, so not fully up to speed on the literature. @StephenRice15 @DrMFJohnson @mathers_kate @crayfish_harry - can you help?

Currently working on a podcast about signal crayfish are there any studies about how we can eradicate the buggers or is all hope lost? Any interesting facts worth including? @crayfish_uk @ursula_juta @ProfJGrey @Andrew_Pledger

Amazing opportunity to join our Previsico sensor team and working with @Andrew_Pledger, ensuring people and communities have the tools they need to mitigate flood impact. If you'd like to learn more please get in touch lnkd.in/edaKUq3d lnkd.in/eJX84YG5

I am #hiring to help support expansion of @Previsico's #sensor offerings, globally. We're a lovely bunch doing important stuff (e.g. lnkd.in/esSWwieZ). Do reach out with queries and #twitter colleagues, please share widely. Closing 18th Nov tinyurl.com/yjbsxjwe

The insurtech started its US expansion in New York, after the city recorded numerous flood-related losses in recent years 🍏 insurancetimes.co.uk/news/previsico… @Previsico @NexusAlphaUSA #mergerandacquisitions #flooddata

#GradJob alert! @previsico are recruiting for a #graduate sales specialist. An exciting and varied role for the right candidate with interests in #flood #environmentalscience. Academic colleagues - please give this a share! previsico.com/2022/08/03/gra…

Congratulations to our Innovation Lab finalists! Their bright ideas are going to help to reduce leakage and flooding, reduce the cost of water treatment and keep more people safe. Meet the companies selected: unitedutilities.com/corporate/news… @LMarks #UUInnovationLab

I've not posted here in a while but we @previsico are thrilled to have been selected for @unitedutilities #InnovationLab. Exciting times ahead! More here: unitedutilities.com/corporate/news… #water #flood #Partnerships #innovation

Great to see the continued expansion of @lborogeog spinout, enabling even more insurers, businesses and government organisations to embed cutting-edge flood prediction that saves lives and livelihoods. #LboroResearch @LisanneGibson @StephenRice15 @SteveRothberg @LboroVC @LATILtd

@Fishtrack1 Wired rooters are so last year…

Sign me up for some of that there interweb straw stuff. Norfolk are currently using 2 turnips attached to a bit of string

@CatieGR Suggest you’re probably more likely to find data for where they have spawned. Slope is important in the context of NB shear stress and so, bed sediment condition, but suggest fish will be less “bothered” by slope itself - more the “things” it influences/controls.

Can anyone tell me of a paper that says there is a river slope or gradient that salmon (Atlantic ideally) will not spawn in (possibly due to the sediment sizes that would be there)

@CatieGR As quantified in the field mobile.twitter.com/Andrew_Pledger… and lab sciencedirect.com/science/articl… over several exps. Relevant review here, too onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.100…

I love this, barbel have big zoogeomorphic capacity! In other words, barbel can change the shape of river beds and move sediment! 🐟

A big welcome to Ollie Fox who has joined the team as a business development manager. He brings with him a wealth of experience working with insurers and property companies and will be helping grow the business globally #welcometotheteam

1/ So we recently got the nod to start building the £120m Bridgwater Tidal Barrier. But before we can begin any major project there’s a lot to prepare including investigating the archeological history of the site. Today I joined those preparations. Here’s a thread….

@StuartMcLelland @HydrometryEA Looks an interesting setup- any chance of me getting the details, too? :)

@HydrometryEA Can you tell us who makes both?

#GaugeOfTheWeek: Blyth on the River Ryton, has had a brand new sensor installed which uses a laser beam to take velocity measurements below the water surface. This new sensor is then cross-checked with an equally new ultrasonic flow meter connected to a smartphone. #Hydrometry

Great to see @lborouniversity insurtech @previsico in the headlines for its technology to help communities worldwide build resilience climate change. @SteveRothberg @StephenRice15 @LisanneGibson @midsengine @lborouniPR www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/c/s/www.bbc.co…

@previsico are thrilled to announce this exciting news! Great things on the horizon with investment being used to improve #forecasting #nowcasting capabilities to help mitigate #flood impacts and losses, globally.

In my book anyone can be at risk of #flooding. Even people living on hills. ( As my near neighbour found out a few weeks back!) Surface water flooding is on the increase, more people are at risk of surface water flooding than river flooding. Are you #Floodaware? @30Days30WaysUK

@SRAnews @IDBsomerset Interesting stuff @SRAnews. What’s it being used for? Sediment dispersal around key infrastructure?

Interesting to see water injection #dredging at Combwich Wharf on River Parrett with Van Oord's Baldr & tug boat Havik. NOT work for SRA but EDF (Hinkley Point). Thanks to Rob Kidson @IDBsomerset for pics. Baldr does not have its own propulsion so is manouevred & driven by Havik

The new @IPCC_CH #ClimateReport warns of increased #surfacewater floods between seasons among its impacts #ClimateEmergency bbc.co.uk/news/science-e…
