1/2 So that’s a wrap! I can’t leave the EA without paying tribute to the amazing EA staff. They perform miracles everyday - sometimes under very difficult circumstances - and often without the credit they deserve - we’re lucky to have them…

@LeamingtonFC Thank you for everything you did for us. Legend 👏🏻

It is with great regret that we announce that our Manager Paul Holleran has today tendered his resignation as First Team Manager of Leamington FC. 5,893 days. 789 games. One gaffer. Viva. 💛 🔗 shorturl.at/mNAFq #BackingTheBrakes | #BrakesTogether

Hundreds of flood warnings remain active after torrential rain and high winds from Storm Bert. Prof John Curtin, who worked in a variety of roles at the Enviroment Agency for over 30 years, tells @EvanHD clear messaging is needed on what to do when flood warnings are issued.

Another quality academy signing by Hollers for @LeamingtonFC #LEASCA

@PaulBurrowsy 😢⚽️

Harborough v Leamington - Battling cup upset … home side deserved it, decent game … Wembley will have to wait till next year @JPCurtinClimate 🏆 ⚽️ #brakes

New school year! Lovely day with the new PhD students as they start their journey helping improve the flood resilience. This is a lovely tradition - students getting their Doctorates open a bottle of champagne in the common room and leave a message where the cork leaves its mark!

Welcome back Boaty - the robot warrior helping our understanding on climate change - two months at sea and dives to 6km! #TeamNOC youtu.be/EHTz4KeuseY?si…

Wow! Thank you so much to the wonderful folk @LancasterUni & @LancsUniLEC for this amazing honour! I’m pretty sure you’d of had a hell of a job convincing a teenage me this was in my future! Fantastic to meet a brilliant cohort of new graduates as they start their journeys too 😊

As part of the @CIWEM Presidential team I can’t wait for this year’s President Award nominations - with so many brilliant people in the sector time to get nominating! Spread the word… linkedin.com/posts/ciwem_pr…

As #floodandcoast2024 kicks off @POLITICOEurope reflects on the most worrying risk the nation faces from flooding - and how we need to prepare for it politico.eu/article/uk-nor…

It’s the eve of #floodandcoast2024 which means it’s time for the @CIWEM Trustees to come together to consider how best to support this fantastic organisation and its amazing members. Have to say it’s a real pleasure given this is one of the most talented bunch I’ve worked with 😊

@ACJSissons Love it :)

The top green jobs, according to our approach, are things like environmental consultants, sustainability officers...and hydrologists! (NB @JPCurtinClimate - good old hydrologists)

We've launched a big new data tool on Green Jobs today! Instead of dividing everyone's job into green or brown ones, we wanted to find a more balanced way of understanding what green jobs really look like. So here's our 3D view of green jobs... greenjobexplorer.org

2/ Online version here. All the maps and graphs in this hard copy show just how much we’ve come on - but also how we still tend to ensure we’re better at dealing with the flood we’ve just experienced than the one to come gov.uk/government/pub…

1/ Found this gem in a tidy up. The ‘Bye’ report - my home town on the front cover. As a young flood forecaster in Leamington I got cut off from my own home! Looking back this was probably the beginning of a shift to a cycle of floods we hadn’t (then!) seen for a generation….

So today was of course about the 40th birthday of the #ThamesBarrier - but personally today was also about celebrating the legend that is Andy B and his 40 years at the barrier - including him handing over the over ride button to the new manager!

Nice touch by the good folk @Rijkswaterstaat on the 40th birthday of the #ThamesBarrier - Union Jack flying over the Dutch flood barriers 😊

One of us is 40 today!! A bit more on the birthday boy ….. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…
