M1: Improve the modelling of extreme weather,
including the prediction of severe precipitation,
storms, hurricanes and heavy fog.
M2: Investigate coupled flood and precipitation
forecast models and quantify the uncertainty of the
precipitation input in a probabilistic and stochastic
manner.
M3: Consider coastal storm surge and wave models
coupled to severe weather forecast models, focusing on
extreme events.
M4: Couple wave and storm surge models to near-shore
models of beach and cliff erosion under conditions of
extreme wave breaking and for high sea levels.
M5: Investigate the potential mitigation of
flood-related disasters through active flood control by
developing and applying techniques from distributed
parameter systems.
M6. Assess new mathematical and numerical methods for
urban air pollution and the dispersal of pollutants in
urban floods.
M7: Quantify the uncertainty in the above modelling
efforts using stochastic and probabilistic methods.
