Mike's talk will provide us with a snapshot of the similarities and differences of working in the UK and the Australasia-Pacific region. From availability of data to the use (or otherwise) of standard methods for hydrology and modelling, he'll illustrate his talk with project examples ranging from post-earthquake and post-cyclone recovery projects in New Zealand to supporting low income communites in Vanuatu and supporting infrastructure in Fiji and elsewhere.
Meet our speakers:
