Lu’s research focuses on simulating and assessing extreme hydrometeorological events like floods and heat waves, particularly in relation to climate change. Lu employs satellite remote sensing, environmental modelling, and machine learning to analyse urban and watershed contexts.
Michael prior-jones
Mike is an electronic engineer with research interests relating to the development of new instruments for field data collection particularly in glaciology.
FEng Mao
Feng’s research interests lie in the intersection of water, ecosystems, society and technologies, focusing on three main themes: (i) hydro-socio-ecological systems under change, (ii) resilience and environmental hazard, and (iii) innovative data technologies for the environment and development. He also works on low-cost sensor networks and participatory monitoring in a sustainable development context.
Liz Bagshaw
Liz’s particular research interest is in biogeochemical processes in the cryosphere, and in the development and testing of new technologies to monitor them. She has worked in Antarctica and Greenland, developing new methods for measuring aquatic biogeochemistry in glacial environments and monitoring the impact of physical processes on microbial communities through geochemical changes in meltwater.
