The Modelling Process

To all those interested:

The modelling process involved in the case of Uckfield, and in fact any similar study, is a long one with several important steps before any potential results can be achieved and analysed. It is also important that any results are viewed in the context of model uncertainty.

Therefore by updating you all on my progress, hopefully you will be able to understand and follow the steps that I take in the modelling process, as well as my masters study in general.

I am currently in the process of familiarising myself with the Overflow model. This involes gaining and developing a general understanding of how the model works through running basic instructions and looking at what output the model can provide. This learning stage is very important before I can look at the model more in-depth.

In addition to learning to use this model, as part of my masters degree, I am also developing a greater understanding of the more broad issues relating to the Uckfield case, particularly in terms of flood attenuation.

As allways, feel free to e-mail me with any questions you may have

Thanks, Ed
