O autorze

Professor Donald Knight retired from the University of Birmingham in December 2007, after teaching and undertaking research in the Department of Civil Engineering for just over 39 years. He continues research as an Emeritus Professor at Birmingham. He has co-authored several books and published over 160 refereed journal and conference papers on open channel flow, modelling, boundary shear stress, sediment mechanics and flooding, including several review articles. Donald is assistant Editor of the Journal of Disaster Research (Tokyo University) and of Water and Sediment Erosion Research (Beijing & Tsinghua Universities).

Caroline Hazlewood is Group Manager at HR Wallingford. She has a PhD and MSc in Hydraulic Engineering and a BSc in Civil Engineering. She is a member of International Association for Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and member of the Journal of Flood Risk Management (JFRM) Editorial Board.

Rob Lamb is Managing Director of the JBA Trust, a research and educational charity funded by the JBA Group. His background is in hydrology and numerical modelling, with research interests in flooding and risk analysis in environmental and engineered systems. He has worked at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford, and, from 2002, at JBA Consulting. Since 2013, he has been an Honorary Professor at Lancaster University’s Environment Centre. In 2016 he was part of the British government’s scientific advisory group on flooding.

Professor Paul Samuels is a Technical Director at HR Wallingford and a Visiting Industrial Professor at the University of Bristol, UK.

Shiono Koji is Emeritus Professor at Loughborough University since 2017. He studied his PhD on vertical turbulent exchange in stratified flow at the Department of Civil Engineering, Birmingham University 1978-1981 and was appointed as a research follow at Birmingham University from 1981-1986, specialising on estuarine flows. In 1989 he took up a lectureship at the Department of Civil Engineering, Bradford University. In 1994 he was appointed as a Senior Lecture at Department of Civil and Building, Loughborough University, and promoted to Professor of Environmental Hydrodynamics in 1999. Hiono was awarded Emeritus Professor at Loughborough University in 2017.
